Some Current Challenges

• Moving from a position orientation to a program
  orientation of comprehensive guidance and
  counseling-reaching out to administrators and
  policy makers.
• Seeing Individual Planning as a Process, not an
  Event (Equating Scheduling with Individual
  Planning
• Fully implementing programs where a school
  counselor spends 100 of their time implementing
  and delivering a comprehensive guidance program
• Helping students and families understand and
  value all avenues to post-secondary education
• Improving evaluation methods that more clearly
  demonstrate the impact of guidance counseling
  program interventions on relevant student
  outcomes.
• Improving connections/integration between shared
  time career center counselors and comprehensive
  high school guidance and counseling programs.
• Improving resources for elementary career guidance
