Florida School Counselor of the Year Nominations!

It is time to submit your nominations for Florida School Counselor of the Year. The 2018 Florida School Counselor of the Year (SCOY) award will be presented at our November 2018 Convention, at the Rosen Plaza Hotel, Orlando.  We are eager to accept your nominations whether you select an individual to represent your district or encourage your School Counselors to nominate themselves.

This is our third year using the paperless FSCA portal created and provided by ASCA.  This online portal is for submitting, collecting, reviewing, and judging SCOY applications. It is also used for submitting our state nominee for the national ASCA SCOY award.  The online portal is paperless, so no fuss and worry about mailing packets as it is all submitted online.  We can easily have reviewers from all the around the state, and our state SCOY winner will already have completed the ASCA SCOY application and will only need to add the video to be considered for the national award.

The portal is open for nominations until September 15, 2018, and has an October 15, 2018 deadline for completed application submissions. Please share this link with your nominees or individuals interested in nominating a colleague or themselves.

The portal  link is:     www.fsca.schoolcounselorawards.org/scoy/index

This portal link is also the place to make nominations for other annual awards like Administrator Advocate  – an administrator who demonstrates exemplary support of school counseling programs, and School Counselor Advocate, a non-administrator who is an educator, school board member, or community leader who demonstrated exemplary support of school counseling.

Please email Jeannie Maddox, FSCA Chair of Professional Recognition, at fsca.awards@gmail.com if you have any questions.  We look forward to receiving your nominations and reading about the amazing job the School Counselors in your districts are doing.
