Last Call for Counselor Academy I

Don't let your district/school miss out on the last opportunity to participate in Counselor Academy I (CAI). This four-day professional development opportunity tailored for school counselors helps them write and refine their K-12 articulated, sequential school counseling program as required by Iowa Code. Help and guidance is provided to collect artifacts to ease schools through the new requirements for school counseling programs as related to the Iowa Department of Education site visits. There are two other professional development opportunities that are offered as follow-ups to CAI which are the following:
  • Counselor Academy II, which focuses on using data to drive the school counseling program
  • Counselor Academy III, which focuses on curriculum, instruction and assessment with regard to the school counseling program
To register for one of the counselor academies, please go to: http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/prodev/counseling/
For more information about the counselor academies or other counselor support resources, please contact Sue Schirmer at sschirmer@aea11.k12.ia.us or (515) 270-0405 ext. 14379.
