National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.

Scottsdale Unified School District encourages our parents and community members to participate in the Speak Up National Research Project survey at http://www.speakup4schools.org/speakup2011.
The password needed to take the survey is susd48
The Speak Up National Research Project, collects and reports the views of K-12 students, teachers, administrators and parents on the use of technology for learning. Since 2003, over 2.2 million students, educators and parents have shared their views through the Speak Up surveys, and these important stakeholder ideas influence local, state and federal policies and programs every year. When schools and districts participate in Speak Up, they gain insight into:
How students are using technology for learning in and out of school. The issues you deem important regarding your child(ren)’s education and use of technology to learn. How teachers use technology for teaching as well as for their own professional activities.
