Do you have an outstanding data-informed counseling program?

Have you considered applying for ASCA RAMP and aren’t sure where to start?

Are you applying for RAMP and would like feedback on some of the areas before you submit your final application?

The Oklahoma School Counselor Association OSCAR is ready for your application, and the portal is now open for you to begin.

The Oklahoma School Counselor Accountability Report (OSCAR) will help you promote and advocate for your program with the use of data.  The OSCAR is developed as a “mini-RAMP” to recognize quality counseling programs in Oklahoma that are aligned with the Oklahoma Comprehensive School Counseling Framework and ASCA Model.  

Info coming soon.

To begin, go the ASCA Portals  link at:

ASCA Portals

• Select Districts and Universities

• Click on “Access to the Districts Portal”

• You will select OSCAR: Oklahoma School Counselor Accountability Report.  You will not need to complete all areas of the RAMP application for OSCAR. 

1.   Vision and Mission Statement 

2.   Annual Student Outcome Goals

4.   Annual Administrative Conference 

6.   Annual Calendar

10. Closing-the-Gap Action Plan/Results Report 

After you complete those five sections, you may submit for the OSCAR, and you are done!  Your five OSCAR application sections will be scored by ASCA RAMP reviewers with feedback as you would receive on a RAMP application. Those who achieve an OSCAR will be announced around August 15 (in time to receive feedback and edit your application before the October RAMP deadline) and receive their award at the OSCA State Conference in October.  OSCAR designation is good for two years (2025-2027).  During those two years, OSCA will pay your RAMP fee to apply for RAMP.  OSCA will pay the first year, and if not awarded will pay the second year to re-apply.  

The deadline to apply for OSCAR is June 17th. Please join the next Q & A session if you'd like more information about OSCAR. Even if you don't qualify for OSCAR, going through the process and receiving feedback on your application is a great learning experience, especially if you hope to achieve OSCAR or RAMP in the future!
