The Colorado Lab is beginning an in-depth study of Colorado’s School Counselor Corps Grant Program (SCCGP) to assess the impacts of SCCGP on program outcomes at the elementary, middle school, high school, and postsecondary educational levels. The evaluation is designed to inform how school counseling program resources and intersecting pathways and practices—such as work-based learning—can advance progress toward equitable academic and postsecondary success for all students. This includes how the program can help to strengthen systems and effectively support student achievement so the pressure isn’t only on a relatively small number of counselors.
Throughout the multi-year evaluation, findings will inform policy and practice decision-making and ensure data-informed strategic investments in Colorado’s educational system. To learn more, contact Dr. Elysia Clemens.
