This professional development class is designed for school counselors looking to refine, revise, and elevate their school counseling programs. Through a blend of hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and expert-led insights, participants will explore strategies to align their program with national standards, set measurable goals, and implement 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 aligns with the ASCA National Model, an evidence-based framework for school counseling designed to improve student outcomes. The ASCA National Model also helps school counselors incorporate themes of leadership, collaboration, advocacy, systemic change, and equity into their programs.
