Essentials of College Counseling
Are you feeling the pull between the “urgent” and the “important”? How do we manage this and how do we best choose to spend our time and talent? What are the basic elements of a college counseling program at a Christian high school? This nuts-and-bolts session presents essential components to build a counseling program — whether your school has a full-time college counselor or one who counsels during a planning period! Together we’ll explore the privileges and challenges of this vocation, examining the “urgent” items which often consume our time, and give attention to the “important” items which truly are essential.
