This group is comprised of counselors from different districts within the Intermediate Unit. There are four sessions scheduled throughout the year that will allow counselors from various settings to collaborate, as well as receive information from the state level that may pertain to them. We will continue to look at topics as determined by the group. There is no fee to attend if you are a counselor from an ARIN district.
These sessions will be structured around meeting the professional needs of counselors at all levels. Morning activities include whole group discussions and collaborations centering on problems of practice and supporting resources. Afternoons are choice-driven and collaborative to offer time for processing, planning, partnerships, and professional growth.
Topics will include:
- Growing the professional learning community of local counselors
- Career readiness event planning and collaborations
- Building resources for SEL, tiered supports, mental health, graduation pathways, and other areas as identified by the group
