Texas Education Code 33.005 (2019) states that school counselors must “plan, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program that conforms to the most recent edition of The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs” (TCA, 2018). This presentation will help you do just that! After giving a brief overview of the TX Model guide, the presentation covers the three stages of acquiring a comprehensive school counseling program (CSCP)- planning, implementing and evaluating. Each stage includes various steps with tasks, so that school counselors (SCs) can move through the tasks in a comprehensive and ordered fashion. Collaborating with administers is also a pivotal factor in a successful program and in meeting the requirements of SB 179; tips and tools will be provided for a strong collaboration. For some of you, creating a CSCP may seem like an overwhelming project, but this presentation will give you a clear blueprint to navigate this project!
