Collaborative 2021

Begins September 22, 2021

We are excited to announce our virtual event, Collaborative 2021. This annual professional development opportunity will take place on select days over three months, September - November 2021.

We will continue to feature a variety of high quality speakers and workshops that cover the breadth of an international school counselor’s role such as developing resilience and “upskilling” our counseling approaches for the current and post-Covid realities.  As advocates for student success, mental health and wellbeing, the Collaborative 2021 will empower you with strategies and tools to re-energize your work in schools.

ISCA Academy 

Classes are running every month

ISCA Academy has been developed to meet the needs of counselors wanting to do more intensive training on specific topics and content areas. Through the array of courses offered at the ISCA Academy, school counselors will be able to upskill in areas expressed in the ASCA Professional Standards and Ethical Standards and Practices.  Whether you are new to the field or have years of experience, with this continued professional development offered in areas that are essential to our role as school counselors in international schools, not only will our profession be elevated but also our professional goals and action plans will be realized.  

Our courses are based on best practice, are research-based and solutions-focused with ample discussion time to allow participants to share strategies or challenges and address questions or concerns.

COUNSELING CONSULTATION CIRCLES WITH LINDEN GLOBAL LEARNING SUPPORT AND SERVICES

Fall Circles will run from September - December 2021

We know that counselors are the heart of a school. When the heart is strong- your school stays healthy. Our Consultation Circles for School Counselors provide the training, care, and support counselors need to do their best work. 

Linden mental health practitioners provide counselors with a confidential platform to discuss challenging cases, find creative solutions to difficult situations in their schools, and most importantly: to share what’s going well.  Groups are currently running February - June 2021.

New Circles will run September - December 2021. You can sign up to receive notifications here.
