Nevada School Counselors
Nevada has taken the right steps to assure school counselors are happy with their career choice as well as to draw students, other educators and career changers into the school counseling career.
The main reason why the Nevada school counseling career has continually become more attractive is really a side effect. In 2003, the Nevada Legislature passed legislation that requires schools, regardless of AYP status, to continually create strategies and plans to improve the process of education. The following is a synopsis of the legislation from the Nevada Department of Education website:
"Comprehensive improvement plans take several years to implement and to demonstrate improvement in the targeted areas. An annual revision provides the opportunity to identify effective practices and/or actions that should be continued and ineffective practices and/or actions that should be revised or eliminated."
This legislation has caused curriculum and educational program developers to turn to the expertise of Nevada school counselors in an effort to introduce more concepts for breaking down learning barriers into the practice of educating.
