Saturday, Weekend 3

The presentation by the professional school counselor was very informative. I was unaware of the many services counselors can offer to students and the opportunities that exist for collaboration with instructors. In addition, it was beneficial to learn about the professional standards for school counselors prior to becoming an administrator. Professional standards are the criteria used for instructor evaluations in Iowa and I am assuming that the standards shared during the presentation would be the criteria used to evaluate school counselors. Are there any other school staff members or professionals who are evaluated by building administrators using a different set of standards? If so, are there national standards in existence that a new building administrator could reference?
