In this four-part, asynchronous series, school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, and administrators that supervise these roles will explore evaluation for best-practice counseling skills including group counseling, classroom delivery, partnering with families, crisis counseling, academic, college and career readiness, and social emotional learning. Specific focus will be on strengthening the administrator/clinician relationship and establishing a pathway for best-practice professional development to support student outcomes. Following completion of the modules, participants will attend a one-hour virtual Q&A session for follow up and next steps.
Participants must register by August 1, 2023 and all work must be completed by August 31, 2023.
