About Summit

For schools who are ready to learn and implement the ASCA National Model, and seek ASCA’s Recognized ASCA Model Program, or RAMP, award. Summit includes completion of the 6 month Ascent training then guides counselors through a subsequent full school year of implementation with “sherpa support” consisting of monthly checkpoints and feedback with on-demand support. Includes guidance on the RAMP application process*.

January-June + August-August

* The RAMP application process should be the culmination of the implementation of a school counseling program. Once your school has a program in place, you will need at least one entire academic year to collect the data and information needed to fulfill the RAMP application requirements. (ASCA)
