sparc-w

Counselor and studentThe SPARC is a continuous improvement document that gives a school counseling program and student support team an opportunity to demonstrate effective communication and a commitment to getting results. The Support Personnel Accountability Report Card for Wisconsin (SPARC-W) has been developed by a Wisconsin School Counselor Association (WSCA) advisory group of Wisconsin school counselors.

We hope that you will find the SPARC-W useful in: presenting a self-evaluation of your student support system, preparing/analyzing results that guide programming for all students in their academic, personal/social, and career goals, promoting your program to your school administration, school board, community partners and businesses and parents/guardians, preparing reports for school accreditation, grants, or awards recognition, and implementing the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Standards and National Model for School Counseling Programs and the Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Program Model.

If you wish to submit a SPARC-W to the Wisconsin School Counselor Association SPARC-W committee for professional review and award recognition, please follow the directions and requirements delineated in this year’s SPARC-W Application Packet.
