This training sold out, but there will be more!

As a result of the overwhelming request for more ASCA Model and AB 1802 training, another training was held May 14 & 15, 2007 in collaboration with the San Mateo County Office of Education. Again, all speaking fees and all proceeds were donated to support the Center for Excellence in School Counseling and Leadership. The May workshop celebrated the newly released California Results-based, School Counseling and Student Support Guidelines.
Over 300 school counselors and administrators attended the ASCA Model and AB 1802 training held February 26 & 27 in Temecula, CA.

The positive feedback from the attendees was overwhelming! School counselors and administrators were delighted to have this in-depth training available to them.
