Let the Michigan School Counselor community be aware that my services were offered to both the Michigan Counseling Association and the Michigan School Counseling Association for a nominal fee of $500 per year for all its members to utilize. Neither organization is interested in offering job postings to its hundreds of dues paying members, and one of the groups didn't even have the courtesy to respond to my e-mail offer. How is your counseling or other educational association helping you find out about jobs? obtain a job? prevent layoffs or downsizing? secure, improve and/or strengthen your job environment, situation and or circumstances?
The Michigan School Counselor Job Postings were also offered to every college and/or university placement office for its current students and alumni; similarly, none of those placement offices and professors chose to take advantage of these great employment and job opportunity services for prospective school counselors.
The new proposed legislation mandating school counselor ratios in Michigan to the ASCA recommendation of 250:1 is a joke! Who will enforce it even if it would passed? It isn't going to change the hiring practices or school district budget dilemmas that force smaller and smaller teaching staffs and less guidance counselors to accommodate the needs of a multitude of students. The current counseling associations in this state can't prevent school districts from privatizing counseling jobs nor will they attempt to intervene.
