Through a blend of hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and expert-led insights, participants will explore strategies for aligning their program with national standards, setting measurable goals, and implementing data-driven practices to maximize student support. By the end of the course, counselors will leave with a customized, actionable plan to enhance their program’s effectiveness, strengthen student outcomes, and better support academic, career, and social-emotional development in their school communities.

This learning is aligned with the ASCA National Model, an evidence-based framework for school counseling which is designed to have positive effects on student outcomes and The ASCA National model also assists school counselors in incorporating themes of leadership, collaboration, advocacy, systemic change, and equity into their programs.
