Recognition
SPARCri Academy Award
SPARCri (Student Personnel Accountability Report Card - Rhode Island) is a document that school counselors write in the spring of the school year, to report to School Committees, parents, administrators, etc about the school counseling program. When counselors have completed the document, then they can also choose to submit it to RISCA for recognition at our Spring conference. For directions for writing your SPARC report, a rubric, and to be considered for the Spring conference award, download this document.
