About
the Book |
Free Excerpt From The Book (requires
Adobe Acrobat Reader)
What are the latest New York State
requirements on immunizations for school attendance?
When are students entitled to component retesting on the
Math and English Language Arts Regents Examinations? How
do today’s professional school counselors address issues
ranging from records retention to suicide identification
and response to manifestation determinations to assure
appropriate discipline accommodations for students with
special needs? These are just some of the over three
dozen topics addressed in NYSSCA’s latest publication,
The
Essential New York State School Counselor: A Resource
for Professional School Counselors, 2008-09 Edition.
The book and a PDF excerpt is available
at Booklocker at
http://booklocker.com/books/3422.html
Written by long-serving counselor and
NYSSCA officer, Edward Mainzer, EdD, LMHC, this volume
is sensitive to differences between NYC and the rest of
the State (including what constitutes a credit!). The
Essential NYS School Counselor is designed as a ready
reference guide reflecting current best practices in the
Empire State. It is intended to offer the information
both new and experienced counselors require to keep up
to date with changing requirements. References are given
to numerous on line and print resources allowing those
requiring more information to easily access the latest
research. It also includes the complete ASCA Code of
Ethics and reflects best practices as laid out in the
ASCA and NYSSCA models.

Graduate Scholarship Award Winners
To help future school
counselors fulfill their educational goals,
the New York State School Counselor Association awards scholarships to
graduate students each year who are currently enrolled in a New York
State accredited master’s-level school counseling program.
Scholarships are awarded based on students’ academic achievement,
letters of
recommendation and an essay response to the question “Given the
evolution of the
school counseling profession and the emphasis in education on
accountability, how
should school counselors be held accountable for fulfilling their duties
and
responsibilities?
Two highly qualified students were chosen this year to receive the
graduate award:
Chesney Penfield
SUNY Plattsburgh.

Kate Karoglanian
College at St. Rose

Congratulations to both winners!
Lesli C. Myers, Immediate Past President
