Professional development for school counselors

School counselors are the first place that students and families go to get college planning advice.  But oversized caseloads, a dramatic increase in mental health and social and emotional learning needs among students, and a lack of training in college planning leaves many school counselors unable to provide timely and effective guidance.  Our professional development programs are designed to give school counselors the knowledge and resources they need to confidently guide families and students, even in the midst of the many demands made of school counselors time and energy.

Our sessions help counselors understand how the college admission system works, how the myths about college outcomes distract families and students from doing what is best for them, and how counselors can provide the kind of guidance that empowers students and enables families to make the choices that have the best long-term outcomes.
