DEFINITIONS Using a Venn diagram format, work together to describe the characteristics of:  Advocacy  Accountability  Areas of overlap

 When a leader articulates a vision, followers are motivated to accomplish goals and work cohesively with a shared purpose.  School counselor leaders construct and negotiate meaning to bring about change for students.  Implementing accountability systems correlates to meaningful differences in students’ lives (i.e., college) even when controlling for caseload, years experience, school counselor education level, etc. (NOSCA, 2012)  What accountability is not: Salary based on grades.

 Amidst challenges & obstacles we encounter, one of the greatest may not necessarily be malicious opposition but instead ignorance/misinformation  Advocacy less about “showing off” and more about taking the lead informing our stakeholders & answering their questions  Accountability less about “justifying our job” and more about demonstrating & articulating vision (what’s possible)  The SMART goal can accomplish both
