The interest session topics will be similar to previous conferences and have been selected so that counselors from middle school, high school and elementary school settings will be able to review and critique the strategies and resources being used successfully in providing a K-12 developmental school guidance program. Upon returning to the district, the information obtained can be shared to facilitate implementation. Some planning and coordination prior to attending the conference will be necessary to determine which topics will address the district’s needs.
