Please take advantage of the information and activities offered at the PDC. To encourage and foster personal growth and professional development, AkSCA continues to provide you with documents, workshops, a quarterly newsletter and an annual conference each year. As an important resource to Alaska’s school districts in their mission to prepare students to meet high academic standards and to become productive and contributing members of society in the 21st century, the Alaska School Counseling Framework (ASCF) was developed by a group of Alaska school counselors and is presented by the Alaska School Counselor Association. The ASCF has its origins in The Comprehensive Counseling Program for Alaska Public Schools (1989) and is the fourth revision of the original.

A special effort has been made to address the unique problems that itinerant and rural counselors experience in their attempts to implement a counseling program in remote areas of Alaska.
