In an effort to support Leander ISD staff who are interested in becoming a Leander ISD school counselor, the Counseling Service Department is offering an Aspiring School Counselor Program. Interested candidates should be Leander ISD staff who have completed, been accepted, or are currently enrolled in a school counseling masters program. The cohort will meet six times each year, three times a semester, with the goal to support future counselors as they complete their coursework and field experiences as well as prepare them for the specific counseling needs in Leander ISD. Topics covered will include planning and implementing a comprehensive school counseling program, responding to the mental health needs of students, preparing for interviews and creating a plan to build relationships with all stakeholders as a new counselor. Participants are expected to attend all meetings which will be held from 5:30-7:00 pm. Meeting locations will be shared directly with participants.

Submit your application by September 10, 2024.
