Connected Counseling
Saint Paul Public Schools
The Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) Connected Counseling
initiative, begun in 2003, is focused on redesigning both the
content and delivery of school counseling programs in Saint
Paul’s seven comprehensive high schools.
Funded by the Bush Foundation, the initiative is an effort
aligned with the Foundation’s goal of raising high school
completion rates for all students. This report describes the
progress of Connected Counseling as of January 2007.
The Connected Counseling Model shifts the focus of school
counselors from concentrating exclusively on one-on-one support
to individual students to creating school-wide comprehensive
standards-based school counseling programs in order to reach ALL
students.
Connected Counseling stresses the leadership role that school
counselors play in developing school-wide improvement strategies
in alignment with the district's strategic goals.
Connected Counseling draws on the American School Counselor
Association (ASCA) National Model for comprehensive school
counseling programs.
