Are you interested in any of the following?
- Having a school counseling program that’s data-driven?
- Increasing satisfaction with your school counseling job?
- Increasing student proficiency rates in ELA and Math?
- Spending more time with students and less time on non-counseling duties?
If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to start developing a comprehensive school counseling program and participation in this series with a group of colleagues is one way to do it!
Ensure your school counseling program is data-driven & student outcomes-based, while being among the first group of school counselors in the state to meet requirements for Indiana’s new Carrying the Torch to Student Success!
Be a Part of the Inaugural ALL VIRTUAL Cohort!
The Indiana Department of Education and Indiana School Counselor Association will be launching Carrying the Torch (CTT) to Student Success: Indiana’s Comprehensive School Counseling Program in November, 2022!
