About Our Counselor Education Programs
Our counselor education programs are designed to equip school counselors with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively support students and families through the financial decisions that sit at the heart of planning for education after high school.
Program Highlights
Every program we conduct is custom-designed to meet your specific needs and goals. Some of the workshops we have led in the past include:
Reframing College to Start with the End in Mind
A focus on getting accepted to a “dream school” at the expense of graduating with financial flexibility has hampered a generation of young adults. This workshop shows counselors how to help students and parents resist that temptation and reframe college as a conduit to the real goal of thriving as an independent young adult.
From Admissibility to Affordability
The conventional wisdom about the college search process is not a value-neutral set of instructions. This interactive presentation pulls back the curtain on the enrollment management and financial aid leveraging industry, empowering counselors to better guide families and advocate for historically disadvantaged students who seek the economic mobility that education is supposed to provide.
There is a Pathway for Every Student
The language we use in planning for education after high school is full of hidden bias and often communicates a message that we don’t intend to send. This deeply reflective workshop presents counselors and educators with a way to recognize language choices that can cause harm and provides ways to identify reframing language that increases inclusive empowerment for all students.
Guiding Students and Families through the Final Stages of the College Choice
Unlike even a decade ago, the first financial aid offer a student receives doesn’t have to be their final price. This workshop provides a framework for counselors to guide students through the appeal process that preserves appropriate counselor boundaries while empowering the student to navigate conflict, uncertainty, and the potential for disappointment.
