New School Counselor Certification & Graduation Requirements Webinar
2021-12-02 15:00 - 16:00
Dear Graduate Students and Counselor Educators,
Please join us on Thursday, December 2nd at 3pm as Dr. Cynthia Walley, NYSSCA Past President and the Chair of School Counseling Program at Mercy College will discuss the new graduation and NYS certification requirements for students graduating after 2022.
After speaking with many graduate students throughout the state I recognized that there is still a lot of confusion about the changes. With students currently in graduate programs speaking to fellow students in different graduating years, the confusion has grown even more. Dr. Walley will present on the changes, who they affect, and what they mean to those students.
This presentation will be open to ALL graduate students regardless of their NYSSCA membership status. Please register at this link:

ACT webinar on using Data-Driven Instructional Programming to Promote Equity and Student Achievement
2021-11-12 14:00 - 15:00
An invitation to join a free webinar on Friday (11/12) called “How Can Data-Driven Instructional Programming Promote Equity and Student Achievement? ” There has been much more feedback from the schools that I support in the Northeast on this particular session than any other ACT webinars in the previous several months. I suspect that it may be such an important topic in our region — perhaps today more than ever.
