The best counselor time is spent with a student, not searching for information and the right form.
TEC §33.007(b)(1)–(11) hands high school counselors eleven college-and-career topics to cover with every student, every year of high school. TxSP has already turned that mandate into a protocol, a chart, student handouts, and twelve special-population playbooks — so counselors can spend the hour with the student, not the statute.
You already know the ask. Eleven required conversations. Four years. Every student. Special populations that need something different. Financial aid rules change every legislative session. Parents who want it in writing. And a caseload that keeps growing.
That is exactly why we built this file drawer. TxSP has always worked to make the ambiguous and complicated easier to understand — and this year, that means putting the entire §33.007(b) college and career counseling calendar in your hands, ready to use.
What is included?
- Protocol for counselors – A protocol with roles and responsibilities for every staff member touching college and career counseling. A chart of all 11 requirements with suggested topics and a four-year timeline. Guidance for special-population caseloads baked in.
- Student handouts – Ready-to-print or post on the website for every student that carries the required notifications, plus practical information on financial aid, grants, admissions timelines, and next steps — the pages parents may keep.
- Special circumstance playbooks – Dedicated resources for twelve student populations that need more than the general menu — with tailored grant information, financial-aid pathways, and already vetted supporting organizations.
