Strengthen Support Systems for Military-Connected Students

Military families experience frequent changes and transitions, which can adversely affect the academic achievement of military-connected students. When school counselors understand these students' specific needs, they can better support them and help them succeed. Awareness of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (ICEOMC) helps you support students experiencing learning loss or educational gaps resulting from transitions. Learn  what ICEOMC is, who it covers and how it helps schools assist military-connected students. Because school counselors play a critical role in navigating credit transfers, course placement and other transition‑related challenges, confidence and familiarity with the ICEOMC is essential.
