SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHILADELPHIA K-12 DISTRICT SCHOOL COUNSELING PLAN 2015-2016

2 INTRODUCTION During the 2014-15 academic year, the District conducted a stakeholder engagement process to develop a comprehensive K-12 District Counseling Plan (the Plan), in accordance with PA Chapters 339, 12, and 4 with the goal of formal School Reform Commission (SRC) adoption and implementation for the 2015-2016 school year. The Plan is designed to guide the District's school counselors in developing comprehensive school-based counseling programs that are tailored and adapted to the needs of their individual schools and focused on the District goal of preparing 100% of students to graduate college and career ready. School counseling plans are comprehensive when they address specific roles and responsibilities, outline a plan, and provide evidence of how school counselors serve as integral members of the school academic team in each of the three interconnected domains critical to student success: academic achievement, social/emotional health, and college and career readiness. The Deputy Chief for Prevention & Intervention is facilitating the Plan’s development in coordination with the Deputy Chief for Career and Technical Education. These offices have jointly convened the Counseling Plan Advisory Council comprised of stakeholders representing District administrators, higher education, industry, parents, students, and community. A working group of school counselors representing elementary and secondary schools drafted the Plan based on input from school counselors across the District. To solicit this input, the working group facilitated workshops during counselor professional development sessions, through the counselor steering committee, and through online feedback forms. The Plan draws from the frameworks provided by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA)1 and the Pennsylvania School Counselor Association (PSCA). 2 1 American School Counselors Association.

District Leadership for School Counseling and School Counselor Assignments The District has approximately 240 school counselors, of which there are approximately 155 elementary/middle school counselors and 85 high school counselors. School counselors are directly supervised by school principals. The District’s Prevention and Intervention unit within the Office of Student Support Services is responsible for coordinating activities related to college and career access, and provides oversight of counseling services and supports, including coordination of counselor professional development, evaluation, internship, and induction. A team of Prevention and Intervention Liaisons support counselors and other school staff by providing training, consultation and technical assistance on issues related to student behavioral health, including the following: Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), focused on strategic and intensive behavior interventions and the Student Assistance Process (SAP); consultation for behavioral health emergencies; response and recovery support for school-wide crises; and coordination of services with city child welfare agencies and organizations. The District’s Office of Academic Supports coordinates college and career readiness activities, and the Office of Career and Technical Education works collaboratively with Prevention and Intervention to develop the District Counseling Plan, to co-convene the District Advisory Council on School Counseling, and to ensure that school counselors have the information and resources they need to improve awareness, recruitment, and retention in the District’s CTE programs.

16 2. School Counseling Program Mission Mission Statement of the District’s School Counseling Program School Counselors in The School District of Philadelphia provide opportunities for the academic, career, and social/emotional development of every student through the delivery of comprehensive school counseling program. We deliver direct services to District students, provide administrative consultation, facilitate staff collaboration, and coordinate parent engagement as outlined in the American School Counselor Association National Model. The School Counseling program mission aligns with and supports the District’s overarching vision and anchor goals. The Vision of the School District of Philadelphia The School District of Philadelphia will deliver on the right of every child in Philadelphia to an excellent public school education and ensure all children graduate from high school ready to succeed Action Plan 3.0 Anchor Goals · 100% of students will graduate, ready for college and career. · 100% of 8 year-olds will read on grade level. · 100% of schools will have great principals and teachers. · SDP will have 100% of the funding we need for great schools, and zero deficit.
17 3. School Counseling Program Goals To support the mission of School Counseling, program goals are organized into three developmental domains aligned with the American School Counseling Association framework: academic achievement, college and career readiness, and social/emotional health. These domains are interconnected aspects of student success that counselors use to organize a comprehensive counseling program. As part of their program delivery, school counselors provide consultation to teachers and administrators to accomplish these goals. The collaborative work of our teachers, parents, agency representatives and all members of the school community are needed to support our students in reaching these goals. Academic Program Goals ● To help students understand their individual learning styles and encourage them to develop skills that will enable them to reach their academic potential and become lifelong learners ● To help students assess and self-monitor their academic performance ● To help students identify barriers to learning and support them to address these barriers College and Career Program Goals ● To help students choose and advance in a program that will enable them to reach their future academic and career goals ● To provide students with the opportunity to assess personal interests and aptitudes in relation to career interest ● To help students discover career pathways through various college and career resources and exposure to a broad spectrum of careers Social/Emotional Program Goals ● To assist students to build empathy and develop positive interpersonal relationship skills involving respect for diversity and cultural competence ● To assist students to be aware of personal beliefs and interests and to develop a positive self-image ● To assist students in developing resiliency and effective coping skills ● To assist students to develop appropriate problem-solving and decision making skills to resolve conflicts and to accept responsibility for their choices
18 4. Roles of Stakeholders in the School Counseling Program In each District school, counselors will engage representatives from each stakeholder groups to support their school counseling programs. While the specific types of engagement may look different at each school, the general roles of each stakeholder group, described below, are common across all schools. Students: Students participate in the school’s counseling program to achieve their best in academic, college and career, and personal/social domains. Student input is crucial in evaluating the success of the program. Parents: Parents work in partnership with school counselors as active contributors to their child’s success by participating in school events, promoting parent engagement, and sharing their knowledge of and insights on their child’s development, strengths, interests, and life outside the school setting. Teachers, Staff and Administrators: Educators collaborate with school counselors on individual student planning. They impact the program by reinforcing concepts from the counseling curriculum through activities in the classroom. City/Community Partners: Child welfare and behavioral health agencies, mental health treatment providers, and government agencies support the school counseling program by delivering services to students referred for intervention. They collaborate with school counselors to ensure communication and smooth transitions for students between school and behavioral/mental health settings. Business and Industry: Local businesses and industries provide students with opportunities for mentoring, advising, job shadowing and exposure to various sectors and industries, and informational sessions. They develop partnerships with the school counseling program and benefit from graduates who are college and career ready. Post-Secondary Partners: This stakeholder group includes both institutions of higher education (IHEs), technical schools, and college access partners. These partners can work with school counseling programs to host students for campus site visits, and engage students and parents by providing information about how to access and prepare for post-secondary education and career pathways. District school counselors provide services to graduate programs by supervising counselors-in-training interning in their schools.
19 5. Role of School Counselors In fulfilling the mission of designing and delivering a comprehensive school counseling program, school counselors function as leaders, advocates, collaborators, and agents of systemic change. As a Leader The leader of the school counseling program: ● Is responsible for the development, delivery and evaluation of a comprehensive school counseling program for all students ● Uses data to identify and remove barriers to student learning ● Promotes student success by participating in efforts to close existing achievement gaps among underrepresented populations ● Serves on school-based leadership/school improvement teams related to the welfare of students ● Serves on district level curriculum teams ● Supports the school as a safe and welcoming learning community In addition, the school counselor: ● Engages educational community stakeholders in helping the school with its academic mission ● Develops a system-wide advisory system to help all stakeholders understand and respond to the developmental needs of all children ● Asks hard questions that challenge the status quo and influence system-wide change leading to school reform ● Uses data to promote and evaluate the school counseling program ● Uses Pennsylvania specific data analysis systems to determine program needs (e.g., SAS, Emetrics, PVASS) ● Develops and manages the school counseling program budget As an Advocate Advocating for students - the counselor works to: ● Ensure access to and success in a rigorous academic curriculum for every student ● Remove barriers that prevent student learning ● Provide strategies for closing the equity achievement gaps among students; ● Develop programs of counseling and advising that ensure every student has an ongoing connection with a caring adult ● Create opportunities to support student learning for all ● Ensure the academic, personal/social, and career development of all students
20 ● Ensure equitable access to educational and career exploration opportunities for all students Advocating for the counseling program - the counselor works to: ● Establish and protect a school environment that supports rigor, relevance, and relationships ● Eliminate policies and practices that inhibit student opportunity ● Promote systemic change in schools to ensure academic success ● Collaborate with others within and outside the school to help meet all student needs ● Ensure that all three domains and corresponding standards (National- ASCA Standards and Pennsylvania- CEW Standards) are addressed and central to the mission of the school. As a Collaborator The school counselor as a collaborator: ● Promotes commitment to the mission of the school; ● Teams with staff to provide professional development that enhances student success; ● Establishes a comprehensive school counseling program that engages the educational community to ensure that all students benefit from the program; ● Offers parent/guardian information and training in the community to enhance the educational opportunities for students and their families; ● Maintains an open communication style to foster an effective teaming culture and a sense of community for the school system; ● Serves actively on school leadership teams; ● Uses skills in networking, problem solving, and mediation in the educational community; and ● Embraces feedback that supports continual program improvement. As an Agent of Systemic Change The school counselor: ● Employs data to identify and challenge policies and practices which may hinder student achievement, ● Enlists the support of influential people and policy makers, ● Establishes opportunities for collaboration to address problems, ● Gathers data to support the need for change, ● Identifies realistic goals and creates action plans, ● Develops intervention strategies for challenging resistance, and ● Embraces the ethical obligation to ask hard questions to challenge the status quo, and ● Participates in the school improvement planning.
21 6.

60 Individual Academic and Career Learning Plan (ILP) The Individual Academic and Career Learning Plan (ILP) is a personalized document that students develop with their counselors and other supportive adults to develop goals for a successful pathway in life after graduation; to chart their progress toward meeting these goals during each school year; and, to determine what resources and tools they need to reach these goals. Students can access and update their ILPs at any time by logging into their accounts in StudentNet. ILPs from past years are archived and remain accessible. Who has access: All District students from grades K-12, plus two years following graduation and/or withdrawal.

63 12. Career and Technical Center Strategy School Counselors play a key role in providing information and guidance to help students and parents consider opportunities for participation in the District’s CTE programs aligned with high-demand, high-wage careers. In addition to outreach and recruitment, school counselors support the retention of students in the District’s CTE programs. Data on District CTE Programs The mission of the District’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) office is to deliver high quality CTE programs that provide students with the opportunity to acquire the appropriate academic and technical skills to be prepared for the high-skill, high-wage, and high-priority occupations of a competitive 21st century global economy. SDP’s Five-Year Strategic Plan for Career and Technical Education aligns with the broader District goal of improving academic outcomes for students in all public and charter schools, and aims to “improve the quality, access and equity for Career and Technical Education Programs and Career Academies across the entire district.” Through its CTE office, SDP offers 111 CTE programs in 37 occupational areas. These programs are offered in 28 high schools across the District and are organized as part of 10 Career Clusters in order to provide students with relevant contexts for studying and learning. Each Career Cluster represents a distinct grouping of occupations and industries based on the knowledge and skills they require. The School District of Philadelphia’s state-approved CTE programs are typically three- year programs of study that provide 1,080 hours of instruction and afford students the opportunity to earn recognized industry certifications. Programs typically begin in grade 10 and continue through grade 12, with an end-of-program assessment (NOCTI) that is administered in grade 12. In the February 2015 evaluation of CTE programs3 , the District’s Office of Research and Evaluation examined the first time 9th grade cohort from the 2010-2011 academic year, and compared high school progression and four year graduation outcomes for CTE and non-CTE students, with the following major findings: 3 Katherine Stratos, M.S. Senior Research Associate, Amber Goldberg, M.A. Statistician, Tonya Wolford, M.Ed., Ph.D Deputy, Office of Research and Evaluation. The School District of Philadelphia Career and Technical Education (CTE) Evaluation Report Prepared for: The Office of Career and Technical Education, David Kipphut, Deputy, Career and Technical Education (February 2015).
64 ● CTE students graduated at a significantly higher rate than non-CTE students. Overall, 65% of the District’s 2010-2011 first time 9th grade cohort graduated within four years. Within that cohort, 84% of CTE students graduate in four years compared with 62% of non-CTE students. ● CTE students left the District at a significantly lower rate than non-CTE students. Twelve percent of the overall cohort left the District within the four-year span, and is considered “non-drop departure.” Thirteen percent of non-CTE students in the cohort transferred out of the District, compared to only 5% of CTE students. This suggests that CTE students and their families are more satisfied with their educational options, and thus are less likely to seek out educational options outside of the state, city, or district. ● There is little to any “achievement gap” among CTE students in terms of graduation rates. In the overall cohort, the graduation rates for African American and Latino students is 62%, compared to 75% for White and Asian students – a 13 percentage point gap. Among CTE students only, African American and Latino students graduated at a rate of 83%, and White and Asian students at a rate of 86% -- a 3 percentage point gap.

    2 INTRODUCTION During the 2014-15academic year, the District conducted a stakeholder engagement process to develop a comprehensive K-12 District Counseling Plan (the Plan), in accordance with PA Chapters 339, 12, and 4 with the goal of formal School Reform Commission (SRC) adoption and implementation for the 2015-2016 school year. The Plan is designed to guide the District's school counselors in developing comprehensive school-based counseling programs that are tailored and adapted to the needs of their individual schools and focused on the District goal of preparing 100% of students to graduate college and career ready. School counseling plans are comprehensive when they address specific roles and responsibilities, outline a plan, and provide evidence of how school counselors serve as integral members of the school academic team in each of the three interconnected domains critical to student success: academic achievement, social/emotional health, and college and career readiness. The Deputy Chief for Prevention & Intervention is facilitating the Plan’s development in coordination with the Deputy Chief for Career and Technical Education. These offices have jointly convened the Counseling Plan Advisory Council comprised of stakeholders representing District administrators, higher education, industry, parents, students, and community. A working group of school counselors representing elementary and secondary schools drafted the Plan based on input from school counselors across the District. To solicit this input, the working group facilitated workshops during counselor professional development sessions, through the counselor steering committee, and through online feedback forms. The Plan draws from the frameworks provided by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA)1 and the Pennsylvania School Counselor Association (PSCA). 2 1 American School Counselors Association.

    4 1. District Leadershipfor School Counseling and School Counselor Assignments The District has approximately 240 school counselors, of which there are approximately 155 elementary/middle school counselors and 85 high school counselors. School counselors are directly supervised by school principals. The District’s Prevention and Intervention unit within the Office of Student Support Services is responsible for coordinating activities related to college and career access, and provides oversight of counseling services and supports, including coordination of counselor professional development, evaluation, internship, and induction. A team of Prevention and Intervention Liaisons support counselors and other school staff by providing training, consultation and technical assistance on issues related to student behavioral health, including the following: Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), focused on strategic and intensive behavior interventions and the Student Assistance Process (SAP); consultation for behavioral health emergencies; response and recovery support for school-wide crises; and coordination of services with city child welfare agencies and organizations. The District’s Office of Academic Supports coordinates college and career readiness activities, and the Office of Career and Technical Education works collaboratively with Prevention and Intervention to develop the District Counseling Plan, to co-convene the District Advisory Council on School Counseling, and to ensure that school counselors have the information and resources they need to improve awareness, recruitment, and retention in the District’s CTE programs. The Offices of Student Support Services, Prevention and Intervention, and Career and Technical Education are led by the following individuals: Karyn Lynch, Chief, Office of Student Support Services Naomi G. Housman, Ed.M., Deputy Chief, Prevention & Intervention Bridget Taylor-Brown, Director, Prevention & Intervention Frederick McDowell, Jr., Ed.D, Deputy Chief, Academic Support Officer David Kipphut, Deputy Chief, Office of Career and Technical Education

    17 3. School CounselingProgram Goals To support the mission of School Counseling, program goals are organized into three developmental domains aligned with the American School Counseling Association framework: academic achievement, college and career readiness, and social/emotional health. These domains are interconnected aspects of student success that counselors use to organize a comprehensive counseling program. As part of their program delivery, school counselors provide consultation to teachers and administrators to accomplish these goals. The collaborative work of our teachers, parents, agency representatives and all members of the school community are needed to support our students in reaching these goals. Academic Program Goals ● To help students understand their individual learning styles and encourage them to develop skills that will enable them to reach their academic potential and become lifelong learners ● To help students assess and self-monitor their academic performance ● To help students identify barriers to learning and support them to address these barriers College and Career Program Goals ● To help students choose and advance in a program that will enable them to reach their future academic and career goals ● To provide students with the opportunity to assess personal interests and aptitudes in relation to career interest ● To help students discover career pathways through various college and career resources and exposure to a broad spectrum of careers Social/Emotional Program Goals ● To assist students to build empathy and develop positive interpersonal relationship skills involving respect for diversity and cultural competence ● To assist students to be aware of personal beliefs and interests and to develop a positive self-image ● To assist students in developing resiliency and effective coping skills ● To assist students to develop appropriate problem-solving and decision making skills to resolve conflicts and to accept responsibility for their choices

    18 4. Roles ofStakeholders in the School Counseling Program In each District school, counselors will engage representatives from each stakeholder groups to support their school counseling programs. While the specific types of engagement may look different at each school, the general roles of each stakeholder group, described below, are common across all schools. Students: Students participate in the school’s counseling program to achieve their best in academic, college and career, and personal/social domains. Student input is crucial in evaluating the success of the program. Parents: Parents work in partnership with school counselors as active contributors to their child’s success by participating in school events, promoting parent engagement, and sharing their knowledge of and insights on their child’s development, strengths, interests, and life outside the school setting. Teachers, Staff and Administrators: Educators collaborate with school counselors on individual student planning. They impact the program by reinforcing concepts from the counseling curriculum through activities in the classroom. City/Community Partners: Child welfare and behavioral health agencies, mental health treatment providers, and government agencies support the school counseling program by delivering services to students referred for intervention. They collaborate with school counselors to ensure communication and smooth transitions for students between school and behavioral/mental health settings. Business and Industry: Local businesses and industries provide students with opportunities for mentoring, advising, job shadowing and exposure to various sectors and industries, and informational sessions. They develop partnerships with the school counseling program and benefit from graduates who are college and career ready. Post-Secondary Partners: This stakeholder group includes both institutions of higher education (IHEs), technical schools, and college access partners. These partners can work with school counseling programs to host students for campus site visits, and engage students and parents by providing information about how to access and prepare for post-secondary education and career pathways. District school counselors provide services to graduate programs by supervising counselors-in-training interning in their schools.

    63 12. Career andTechnical Center Strategy School Counselors play a key role in providing information and guidance to help students and parents consider opportunities for participation in the District’s CTE programs aligned with high-demand, high-wage careers. In addition to outreach and recruitment, school counselors support the retention of students in the District’s CTE programs. Data on District CTE Programs The mission of the District’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) office is to deliver high quality CTE programs that provide students with the opportunity to acquire the appropriate academic and technical skills to be prepared for the high-skill, high-wage, and high-priority occupations of a competitive 21st century global economy. SDP’s Five-Year Strategic Plan for Career and Technical Education aligns with the broader District goal of improving academic outcomes for students in all public and charter schools, and aims to “improve the quality, access and equity for Career and Technical Education Programs and Career Academies across the entire district.” Through its CTE office, SDP offers 111 CTE programs in 37 occupational areas. These programs are offered in 28 high schools across the District and are organized as part of 10 Career Clusters in order to provide students with relevant contexts for studying and learning. Each Career Cluster represents a distinct grouping of occupations and industries based on the knowledge and skills they require. The School District of Philadelphia’s state-approved CTE programs are typically three- year programs of study that provide 1,080 hours of instruction and afford students the opportunity to earn recognized industry certifications. Programs typically begin in grade 10 and continue through grade 12, with an end-of-program assessment (NOCTI) that is administered in grade 12. In the February 2015 evaluation of CTE programs3 , the District’s Office of Research and Evaluation examined the first time 9th grade cohort from the 2010-2011 academic year, and compared high school progression and four year graduation outcomes for CTE and non-CTE students, with the following major findings: 3 Katherine Stratos, M.S.

    64 ● CTE studentsgraduated at a significantly higher rate than non-CTE students. Overall, 65% of the District’s 2010-2011 first time 9th grade cohort graduated within four years. Within that cohort, 84% of CTE students graduate in four years compared with 62% of non-CTE students. ● CTE students left the District at a significantly lower rate than non-CTE students. Twelve percent of the overall cohort left the District within the four-year span, and is considered “non-drop departure.” Thirteen percent of non-CTE students in the cohort transferred out of the District, compared to only 5% of CTE students. This suggests that CTE students and their families are more satisfied with their educational options, and thus are less likely to seek out educational options outside of the state, city, or district. ● There is little to any “achievement gap” among CTE students in terms of graduation rates. In the overall cohort, the graduation rates for African American and Latino students is 62%, compared to 75% for White and Asian students – a 13 percentage point gap. Among CTE students only, African American and Latino students graduated at a rate of 83%, and White and Asian students at a rate of 86% -- a 3 percentage point gap.
