Utah school counselors demonstrate accountability, social justice, and systemic change. Implementing a comprehensive and systemic College and Career Readiness School Counseling Program provides school counselors, teachers, administrators, other school personnel, and policymakers a framework that includes strategies and practical tips on how to work more effectively in their schools and communities. The data-driven process helps school counselors and other stakeholders select and implement appropriate supports and interventions that close equity gaps, demonstrate program effectiveness, and improve college and career readiness for each student.
