Mentor Program
Welcome to the KSCA Mentoring Program! KSCA believes school counselors play a pivotal role in a student’s academic, social/emotional, and career development. In response to the need for school counselors to receive high quality mentoring, we have established a program to offer additional support to new school counselors or current school counselors moving to a different grade level of service. It is our belief that the provision of structured support for our new counselors will greatly impact the students we serve. School Counselors are called to be collaborators, leaders and change agents in order to address the multifaceted needs of the students and families they serve. These roles are complex and require continued professional development and a strong professional identity for the school counselor. KSCA adheres to the code of ethics and professional identity established by ASCA regarding the role of school counselors. The purpose of the KSCA Mentoring Program is to provide new school counselors with support that is shaped by their professional needs. KSCA will strive to provide a diverse cohort of mentors, representing diverse backgrounds and locations around the state. Selection of candidates will consider needs based on geography, job specific components, diverse backgrounds and goals of mentees. If you have any questions about the program or how to get involved, please contact Stacy Davis at stacy.davis@mercer.kyschools.us.
