School Counselor Collaborative Cohort Course
with Rachel Luks Petraska and Patti Tomashot
October 2025-May 2026
This course identifies the different phases every new and current counselor goes through, offering crucial strategies to navigate each. Participants return to schools equipped with proven instructional and self-care practices. Counselors will create a plan for implementation of the VT School Counseling Framework, and a monthly roadmap to follow that aligns with the VT Framework and ASCA. New for 2025, we will review the revised ASCA model (released July 2025) as well as the updated VTSCA model.
We’re a non-profit on a mission to improve Vermont schools through quality professional learning for educators.
