Guidance Central Handout
By Shirley Andrews, President WRCA
I developed this handout for the students at my high school. I provided them with our school's site ID and password. This allows my students to work on this program at school or at home. I thought I would share this with you so that you can promote Guidance Central to your students. It's an impressive program.
