New Counselor Institute

Designed for counselors with less than 3 years of experience, but all are welcome!

ESC Region 13 will facilitate the New Counselors’ Institute (NCI) to build a community of inclusion and belonging for all counselors new to the field. Each participant will have opportunities to consult with experienced counselors while networking and collaborating with other new counselors in the region. Each participant will be empowered by this opportunity and will leave with practical strategies, tools and models to design a successful program meeting the unique needs of the school community they serve. NCI will be limited to 35 counselors to foster a learning environment where connection and collaboration is highly encouraged.
