The SPARC-MN is a continuous improvement document that gives a school counseling program and student support team an opportunity to demonstrate effective communication and a commitment to getting results. A Minnesota School Counselor Association (MSCA) committee of Minnesota school counselors has developed the
Support Personnel Accountability Report Card for Minnesota (SPARC-MN).

We hope that you will find the SPARC-MN useful in:

• Presenting a self-evaluation of your student support system
• Preparing/analyzing results that guide programming for all students in their academic, personal/social, and career goals
• Promoting your program to your school administration, school board, community partners and businesses and parents/guardians,
• Preparing reports for school accreditation, grants, or awards recognition, and
• Implementing the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Standards and National Model for School Counseling Programs
