Dive Brief:

  • The student-to-counselor ratio improved last year to its lowest point in over three decades, according to calculations released Tuesday by the American School Counselor Association. 

  • The national student-to-counselor ratio decreased to 408:1 in the 2021-22 school year, down from 415:1 the year before. That's still higher than ASCA's recommended ratio of 250:1, but much lower than the 588:1 ratio in 1986-1987 when the association began tracking this metric. 

  • Despite remaining over double the recommended level, ratios improved in Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Utah. States such as Tennessee, Indiana and New York, however, saw significant increases in counselor caseloads.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
