In the words of Vincent Furnier (aka Alice Cooper) "Schools Out for Summer"! Here is the song in case you have never heard it...it is an anthem for me every year!!!
So, now many of us are looking to make plans for vacation, deep cleaning our homes, hanging by the pool, catching up on our summer reading, or binge watching our favorite shows on Netflix. Although I am working some this summer, I already have a packed summer! I always try to have one trip planned (self care is really important), but I know this is my chance to improve my learning and sharpen my skills. Whether you are looking for professional development opportunities from the comfort of your home or to physically go to a conference, this post is for you!!!
And now the list...

Specialist Certifications:
Bullying Prevention Specialist
Bullying is a difficult issue that students can face in any school, and school counselors are often the first person students or parents contact when bullying happens. Earn the ASCA Bullying Prevention Specialist designation to be best prepared to prevent bullying or intervene when bullying occurs.
College Admission Specialist
The world of college admissions can be a confusing one, and often school counselors haven't received any training in this arena. Earn the ASCA College Admissions Specialist designation to be best prepared to help your students on the path to postsecondary success.
Legal/Ethical Specialist
School counselors face legal and ethical challenges every day. From confidentiality issues to records maintenance, from duty of care to sexual harassment issues, a school counselor's legal and ethical questions can spring up from every corner. Earn the ASCA Legal & Ethical Specialist designation to master these difficult subjects.
School Counseling Data Specialist
Collecting and analyzing data can help school counselors and their administrators identify achievement gaps, understand educational issues and assess programs to ensure they are making a difference for all students.
School Counseling Leadership Specialist
Most school counselors don’t consider themselves to be leaders. However, we all know school counselors who are highly effective at their jobs. What sets them apart from others is leadership. Earn the School Counselor Leadership Specialist designation to ensure you are the best school counselor you can be for your students.
ASCA Webinar Series
2016 ASCA Webinar Series
Solving our Stress: How to Quickly See the Invisible - June 29th
Learn how the innovative tool, Solving Our Stress, can help you visually chart students’ stress levels and create patterns of internal processes. This allows you to know the impact of your work before the student, parent or staff member leaves your office. The Solving Our Stress tool provides an “in” sight into emotions, in a manner similar to the recent Disney movie “Inside Out.” The tool positions traditionally imperceptible information into a visual format, improves your ability to foster mental wellness and therefore enhances safety in your school.
Promote Your Program - August 24th
A new school year is starting. Are you ready to promote your school counseling program? Toot your horn loud and clear, and let others know about the valuable work you do every day to have a positive impact on students. Learn how you can use various forms of public relations to help get the word out about your counseling program.
