Counselor Connection - October 14

We want each of our students to be ready for their future, whatever that may be. This is not a job of the high school counselor alone during a student's senior year, but rather a community effort from the beginning. Our day will be structured to see how the many initiatives regarding CCR are aligning to move students forward.

We will begin as a K-12 group to look at and begin to unpack the state board approved Iowa College and Career Readiness definition. We will then split into two groups:  K-6 and 7-12. K-6 will meet to discuss career curriculum and alignment of the CCR Definition to the ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors. At the same time, 7-12 will meet to review and unpack the requirements from the recently passed HF2392 regarding the district plan and individual career and academic plans.

Join us for some great learning and collegial networking at Heartland AEA from 8:30-3:30 (lunch on your own). Register at:  CN009392111701

This is first of three Counselor Connections for the 16-17 school year. If you attend all three and complete assignments, you may earn one license renewal credit. Mark your calendars for remaining two dates (registration coming soon)
