Common Core Standards Offer New Opportunities for School Counselors to Collaborate with Teachers, Says Career Key
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) December 19, 2013 -- While Common Core education standards are controversial in some states, they do provide new opportunities for school counselors and teachers to collaborate. A new online guide by Career Key, http://www.careerkey.org, shows how counselors and teachers can work together to combine career and college readiness standards in learning activities.
In “Common Core and ASCA Standards, School Counselors, and Career Key,” counselor educator Dr. Lawrence K. Jones, NCC offers tips and free resources to help school counselors integrate Common Core and the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Standards into their work. At the same time, he gives counselors ideas for collaborating with teachers in learning activities.

“Common Core State Standards: A Challenge and Opportunity for School Counselors,” PDF eBook;
“Learning Activities with Overlapping ASCA National Model and Common Core Standards”; and
