Collaboration has been a huge factor in my school counseling development. The ASCA mentions that school counselors must work together with stakeholders both inside and outside the school (ASCA National Model, 2012, p. 6). By having a unified group of people (teachers, students, parents, community, administration, etc.) school counselors can access and support student achievement more effectively. Having this teamwork can really allow all parties to work towards a common goal of equality, which can build academic successes for every student. Throughout the Lamar School Counseling Program I constantly felt supported, and like I was part of a team. Anytime I had a question or concern there was always someone there to provide me with feedback
