Recognized ASCA Model Program 

The Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) recognizes schools committed to delivering comprehensive, data-informed school counseling programs. These programs, which align with the ASCA National Model, exemplify school counseling at its best. 

Drive your school counseling program to the next level. Show your administrators, school board and the community at large that you're committed to delivering a data-informed school counseling program. 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.

Although the fourth edition is preferred, applications for 2021 may use either the ASCA National Model third edition or the fourth edition and will be evaluated on the corresponding rubric. Applications for 2022 and beyond must use the fourth edition and will be evaluated based on the fourth edition rubric.
