Rationale A School Counseling Advisory Board is a vehicle to personalize a schools learning environment. (Hamilton, Rhea. 2009) Members of the SCAB can include parents, teachers, administrators, community and business members. These stakeholders have a common interest in the building and the quality of educational provided. They combine shared resources and strengthen the goal reducing barriers to education. The SCAB helps support families and individual students, significantly impacting social­emotional learning of students.
Teachers involved have reported support in their roles as life­guides and family members.
They are able to use the resources of the SCAB to get students resources they need to be successful. Some examples could include uniforms, free lunch, help with housing and access to the internet.
Roles of administration are described as the first point of contact and student advocates.
Administrators on the SCAB may be first point of contact working with local parks and recs for youth leagues.
