NYSSCA Survey for School Counselors
Your input is needed for ASCA's Ethical Standards Revisions
Calling All NYS School Counselors!
The American School Counselor Association is updating the code of ethics that school counselors should follow. As a result, they are seeking information from school counselors nationwide to provide input into these revisions.
Proposed revisions include addressing the following topics:
- Best practice for referrals to Outside Counseling Agencies
- The use of data to drive school counseling programs
- Expansion of College and Career Readiness plans
- Social networking cautions
- The use of technology
- Managing boundaries, including considerations for working with special populations—including homelessness, dating violence, sexual harassment, and child abuse
- Virtual counseling
- Counselor education and supervision
Current ethical standards can be found on ASCA’s website or by visiting ASCA's current ethical standards.
We are seeking your input on these issues to help in ASCA’s endeavor. We would appreciate your feedback on the topics below which we will then forward to ASCA.
