The American Student Achievement Institute is a nonprofit organization focused

on raising educational achievement for all students and closing achievement gaps between

rural, minority and low-income students and their more advantaged peers.

The American Student Achievement Institute is pleased to partner with the Indiana Department of Education to provide schools with professional development aimed at helping schools transform their school counseling program to the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling model.

The content on these pages originally appeared as InSAI's "Guiding All Kids" Initiative published in the early-1990's and upon which the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling model is based.

While the InSAI school counseling program design model was developed for Indiana schools, it can easily be adapted to school counseling initiatives in other states or individual school districts outside of Indiana.
