Adapting American School Counselor Association National Model to Advise and Counsel Adult Students

Consortia Involved:

Los Angeles Regional Adult Education Consortium

The program uniquely adapts the ASCA National Model to an adult learning environment, ensuring its relevance for non-traditional students. It employs a data-informed, systematic delivery of counseling services, enhancing consistency and effectiveness. The integration of a Multi-Tier System of Support (MTSS) ensures a proactive approach to address all aspects of student success. By combining the expertise of credentialed counselors and advisors, the program offers a robust support network that caters to the diverse needs of adult learners.

The California Adult Education Program Summit 2025 is where innovation meets influence. It’s where practitioners and leaders come together to surface bold ideas, elevate breakthrough practices, and drive lasting change across the adult education system.
