CACREP Accreditation Standards -- Open for Public Comment
CACREP Accreditation Standards -- Open for Public Comment
As you may know, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) is revising its accreditation standards. The comment period for the third draft ends this Friday, Nov. 30.
If you have not submitted comments, we strongly encourage you to respond to CACREP's request for comments. ASCA recommends four revisions that would align CACREP standards more closely with ASCA's National Model and would strengthen school counselor education to ensure that students graduate with the skills they need to be effective school counselors. For your convenience, you may download ASCA's recommended comments on the CACREP forms. Simply provide your name and e-mail address in the space provided, modify the comments if you desire, print the comment forms, and fax them to the CACREP office.
You may view or download Draft 3 of the standards at www.cacrep.org. You may also download the form or submit the comment form electronically.
ASCA also will submit more extensive and detailed comments. Thank you for your assistance. Your comments to CACREP will help all school counselors speak with a strong, unified voice.
You may also download the files from ASCA's home page.
Sincerely,
Eric Sparks, ASCA President
