Counseling@NYU to Host Twitter Chat for School Counselors
Another school year is almost in the books and millions of students throughout the country will walk across the graduation stage this June to collect their hard-earned diplomas. Sending students off to the next phase in their lives — whether it’s to continue their education or start a career — is an especially gratifying moment for school counselors who play a vital role in the academic, professional, and personal development of young minds from pre-K through high school. The unsung heroes of the school system, school counselors work tirelessly to ensure that each and every student has the support system in place to achieve their full potential. Although those in the education field know that you never truly stop working over the summer, the break thankfully offers school counselors much needed time to recharge their brains and reflect on lessons learned.
Counseling@NYU Hosts #WhySC Twitter Chat
To take advantage of the wealth of knowledge within the school counselor community, Counseling@NYU, NYU’s new online master’s in school counseling degree, will be hosting their first #WhySC (Why School Counselor) Twitter chat. Co-hosted by the American School Counselor Association (@ASCAtweets), the goal of this chats is to provide professionals in the field a place where they can share success stories, advice, and strategies to help their peers improve outcomes for students and schools.
School counselors, education leaders, teachers, and those interested in pursuing a degree in school counseling are invited to participate in this live, interactive kickoff event.
