COURSE OVERVIEW

Perhaps more than ever, school counselors are essential contributors to a student’s support system. This course will allow you to build practical tools to serve you well in your ever-changing role. Designed for school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers, the course explores the application of SEL strategies to support student challenges, how to solicit information to collaborate with teachers and families, along with brain-science-based strategies for smart studying. Create tools for teachers and staff to navigate tough conversations about race, gender identity, and how to take action against hate speech. You’ll complete this resource-packed course with the confidence to take your role to the next level of being an effective school counselor.
