This learning series is designed for School Counseling Leaders (Counseling Coordinators, Assistant Principals, Districts Leads, Directors). Leaders will gain insight to support school counselors with a foundational understanding of the school counseling program (e.g., the ASCA National Model) and multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) alignment. This training will be specific to early career school counselors, emerging leaders, and experienced school counselors. Based on cohort needs and knowledge/skill level, the session topics will be differentiated for each group, to allow for deeper dives into the topics and strategies for application. Agreement for both a needs assessment and a knowledge skills self-assessment to differentiate sessions, track growth, and guide action planning is requested.
