The 2nd Annual NCDA Counselor Educator Academy
Tuesday, June 28 –Thursday, June 30th 2016
This academy is for select counselor educators who teach Career Counseling within their department. The inaugural group was charged with determining how NCDA can better serve counselor educators in other regions and in future Counselor Education Academy offerings. This year’s academy will focus on the growth and development of the intersection of counselor education and career counseling.
The purpose of this Counselor Educator Academy is to
- support your work teaching our future counselors about their role in career counseling, and
- provide tools you can use in your work, including career information, resources, and practices.
Our agenda is rich and informative. Topics to be addressed are:
- Identifying Problems/Gaps Activity
- Brainstorming Solutions
- Career Theories & Teaching Practices
- Past/Present/Future of Career Counselor Education
- Resource & Career Resource Store Scavenger Hunt
- Career Development Certifications
- Legislation
- Advocating with Faculty Members and Fostering Relationships
- Career Counseling Syllabi
The Academy will be a time for you to share information, ideas, and concerns you have as you teach your own career counseling classes at your university.
If you wish to apply to be selected please contact Rebecca Dedmond (rdedmond@gwu.edu) and Amanda Friday (fridayar@gwu.edu). A small traveling stipend will be included for those selected.
We eagerly anticipate your contributions to this very important event that will help shape the way for additional Academies. Working together, we have the potential to enhance and strengthen the delivery of career courses throughout the nation.
