14 Lee (1998) defined advocacy the process or act of arguing or pleading for a cause or proposal. Recommends that counselors become agents of social change Argue for the advancement of the counseling profession Find themselves intervening with systems and organizations Advocacy for Counseling and Counselors: A Professional Imperative by Meyers, Sweeney, White What is advocacy?
15 Research indicates effective schools are: Characterized by staff members who support a guiding mission, purpose, and goals, and understand the importance of colleagues specialized roles in reaching school goals (Lieberman, 2004). Why school counselor advocacy?
16 Professional school counselors are Important members of school teams Professional school counselors face challenges Fellow educators and other stakeholders are unclear about their current position in schools (Dotson, 2009). Why school counselor advocacy?
17 School counselor s role is unclear School counselors tasks, expectations and demands vary Definition of the school counselor s role is left to the administrator s discretion (ASCA, Public Relations and Advocacy) and also because

19 Where is advocacy in the model?
20 Develop a comprehensive counseling program handbook Provide workshops to explain the role of the professional school counselor and the components of a comprehensive counseling program. Communicate with the total school family-that includes custodians, cooks, and bus drivers as well as other educators. Advocacy activities on role of PSCs
21 Publish a monthly counseling newsletter. Let others know the process for referring a student for services. Organize and maintain a counseling advisory committee made up of parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, students, and community members. Advocacy activities on role of PSCs
22 Serve as a member on school/district wide committees. Present the role of the professional school counselor to new staff members during new staff orientation meetings. Provide workshops to share special topics to meet student needs. More advocacy activities
23 Present information about the counseling program at monthly faculty meetings. Prepare a brochure about your school s comprehensive counseling program to demonstrate what services are available. Be visible, be helpful, and involve others in your counseling program activities. More advocacy activities
24 Make posters and hang them in classrooms, hallways, and the office to advocate the counseling services available. Develop a job description to share with appropriate stakeholders. Publish a monthly counseling newsletter for teachers Let students and teachers know the process for referring a student for responsive services. More advocacy activities
25 Brown and Trusty (2005) derived several useful practice guidelines from the advocacy competencies. A step-by-step model of the advocacy process based on those guidelines and based on the competencies follows. A Model of the Advocacy Process
26 Develop and clarify professional identity around advocacy dispositions. These are motivating to the advocacy process, and they help in making decisions of an ethical-legal nature. 1. Develop advocacy dispositions
27 Build collaborative relationships with decision-makers and potential advocacy resource people and groups. Acquire knowledge of parameters, and gain an understanding of relevant systems within and outside the school. 2. Develop relationships/knowledge
28 Gather data and other information to understand and objectively assess and define the advocacy problem and to aid advocacy efforts. Determine problem etiology and understand the problem in the context of systems. 3. Define the advocacy problem
29 Clear and specific plans of action should effectively utilize resources and anticipate difficulties. Be flexible unless an important moral principle is at stake. 4. Develop action plans.
30 Use problem-solving skills, communication skills, collaboration skills, dispute resolution mechanisms, and advocacy models for producing change. Monitor, organize, and manage advocacy efforts on various fronts. 5. Implement action plans
31 Ensure that agreed-upon changes are implemented. Promote and support collaborators and others as changes unfold and as setbacks occur. Continued 5. Implement action plans
32 Evaluate the effectiveness of advocacy efforts by following up on changes and determining if needs are met. The problem assessment and problem definition should specify or imply appropriate evaluation criteria. 6. Make an evaluation
33 If advocacy efforts are successful, recognize and reward contributions to success and empower all involved (including students and families) to become advocates for themselves and others. If goals were not reached, regroup and focus on support and coping. 7. Celebrate or regroup

35 Get mad? Get even? Get upset? Get ahead? As comedian Lily Tomlin once said, I always wondered why somebody doesn t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody. What are we to do?
36 The time is now for all professional counselors and counselor educators to advocate for the profession to which you have dedicated yourselves. You need to advocate for the profession with as much intensity as you exhibit in advocating for those whom you serve. When do I do this and how?
37 List three activities you will do to advocate at your school. Goals
38 School Counseling as a program not a position within the schools. A program A coherent sequence of instruction based upon a validated set of competencies (WV, 2011) ASCA 2013 Springfield Public Schools Carol A. Dahir Ylanda D. Johnson A Shift in Thinking!
39 Design Implement Evaluate Comprehensive array of services Preventative and developmental A Shift in Thinking
40 Program Foundation Delivery System Management System Accountability System What does ASCA tell us we are supposed to do?
41 Align school counseling practice with district and building goals Help the principal to understand the work of school counselors Ask the question - How are students different as a result of school counseling program? Counselors will need to see the connection between comprehensive school counseling and effectiveness What should School Counselors do?
42 The program must also be evaluated to ensure that desired student learning outcomes are achieved. Proactively get ahead of the curve, instead of waiting for the next phase of a mandate. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
43 Everyone is accountable for student success! CHALLENGE Show how the school counseling program influences critical data elements on the school s report card. A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH to building your program will help support and secure the school counselor s position as a valued player in school improvement. Have priorities to achieve goals EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE THRIVE NOT SURVIVE
