    https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=SfWsPDZezEGj3olFnhId704gbilBPhBIiCqnYlIaW19UOE9YODlFOU1CNFFRNEtSQkZGMlpTS1dITi4u

    ASCA School Counselor Questions related to in-service credit (off contract time) & professional development (on contract time/15 hours)

    2.  Can I attend the ASCA@Home virtual conference and receive in-service credit?

    •  Yes- you can attend the conference and earn up to 3 in-service credits (45 hours) by self-reporting your hours (as required by ASCA) of the keynotes and sessions you attend.
    • The ASCA conference certificate must be submitted to the counseling department by July 31st with a list of your sessions attended and total hours completed.
    • If you would like to earn in-service credit- Please register through My PGS- https://washoe.truenorthlogic.com/ia/empari/learning2/course/viewCourseSearch?courseId=14268
    • All hours must be completed prior to July 31st
    • The amount of in-service credit that the Professional Learning Dept. issues will be based on how many hours you complete and report on your ASCA certificate. 7.5 hours= .5 credit, 15 hours= 1 credit, 30 hours=2 credits, or 45 hours= 3 credits.
    • ASCA@Home hours can also be uploaded into OPAL at NDE for licensure renewal at any time

     3.  Can I take an ASCA U specialist training and receive in-service credit

    • No. Unfortunately, the format of the specialist trainings (independent work time) does not meet the requirements of in-service credit as outlined by the Professional Learning Department.
    • ASCA U specialist trainings do count for licensure renewal and can be uploaded into OPAL at NDE at any time
    • You can use the ASCA U Specialist training hours to count towards your 15 hours of professional development (on contract). 

     4.  What if I’m not finished viewing the ASCA@Home conference prior to July 31st?

    • You can continue to view the ASCA conference sessions for up to 3 months past the conference date, but you will not receive in-service credit for any time accrued past July 31.
    • At your convenience- the conference can be viewed for up to 3 months during non-contract time and you can pay for graduate credit through Lindenwood University.

     5.  Can I pay for the graduate credit from Lindenwood University for either the ASCA conference or ASCA U class for pay scale advancement?

    • Yes, WCSD Human Resources accepts graduate credit from Lindenwood University with an official transcript for pay scale advancement.
    • Hours must be completed during non-contract time.
    • You cannot combine it with in-service credit. It’s one or the other.
    • Please check on the ASCA U website for specialist trainings that meet graduate credit requirements.

     6.  Can I use the ASCA@Home conference or ASCA U specialist training hours towards my 15 hours of Professional Development required for certified employees prior to school starting?

    •  Yes, but neither can be combined with in service or Lindenwood graduate credit.
    • You can fill out the Microsoft PD accountability form to log your 15 hours of PD from now until July 31st.
