Counselor Institute
In this professional learning program, community college counselors will work collaboratively with researchers on campus to analyze data and integrate important insights into practice.
The learning outcomes of the Counselor Institute are the following:
- Foster understanding and awareness of Career Technical Education or Career Education (CTE/CE)
- Learn how to use labor market information and career exploration in advising
- Use evidence-based decision-making to examine services provided to students
- Support counseling faculty in collaborating with CTE/CE instructional faculty and institutional research
- Inspire counseling from a culturally inclusive perspective
Counselor Institute participants are expected to attend two professional learning events and complete assignments on these topics:
- Examining Student Data
- Exploring Student Interests and Career Aspirations
- Managing Day-to-Day Workflows
- Developing Cross-Campus Relationships
After completing the assignments, counselors will create “Action Plans” that are research interventions designed to make progress on equity data gaps.
