Questions about APPR for School Counselors

NYSSCA and NYSUT have put together a Q&A document to assist school counselors whose districts are negotiating contractual changes to annual professional performance reviews (APPR).  Although the current legislation on APPR for teachers DOES NOT APPLY TO SCHOOL COUNSELORS, it appears some districts are asking school counselors to propose a new APPR rubric and/or SLOs. 

For updates, visit NYSSCA
