An Update From the Indiana Department of Education for February 10, 2023

DOE Header

A Message from Dr. Katie Jenner

Katie Jenner Headshot

In the month of February, we celebrate both Black History Month and CTE Month (more on these in the coming weeks!)…and this week is also School Counseling Week – a week dedicated to celebrating the impact of school counselors. Whether they are helping students achieve academic success today or plan for the future, Indiana’s nearly 1,500 school counselors play an essential role in shaping and supporting our students’ educational…and life journey. 

In conjunction with School Counseling Week, our team announced the recipients of the newly-established Comprehensive School Counseling Grant. In total, $5 million was awarded to support 26 school districts, charter schools, and community partners to further develop and expand school counseling services and resources that improve student achievement, overall well-being, and college and career readiness.

If you aren’t familiar with Indiana’s Comprehensive School Counseling Model, this effort was launched in late 2022 after many months of significant engagement with school counselors, principals, superintendents, and school board members. This new, tiered system of recognition, focuses on defining the role of the school counselor, integrating the role within the school and throughout the K-12 system, and using data to drive impact. Since this new model was announced in October, 152 schools are already participating! 

CSC


The Comprehensive School Counseling Grant provides additional support for schools as they work to implement a comprehensive school counseling model, specifically focused on lowering counselor-to -student ratios, improving student outcomes as it pertains to the five characteristics of Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed, establishing/strengthening partnerships with community organizations and employers, as well as progress monitoring. 

Here are just a few examples of how this grant will support more than 117,000 students across 17 Indiana counties:

  • Piloting the addition of counselors in school buildings where none currently exist;
  • Expanding the use of tools that support college, career, and life readiness;
  • Contracting with outside mental health professionals to provide services for students and families upon their request;
  • Targeting causes of chronic absenteeism by partnering with community agencies to support students and families; and 
  • Providing professional development for educators as they support the diverse needs of students. 

Congratulations to the recipients of this grant! We look forward to seeing your progress and learning from your challenges and successes. And for all Indiana counselors…a huge thank you for all that you do to support your community, school, and our students!
