Share your expertise. Inspire fellow school counselors. Contribute strategies that make an immediate impact in schools across Massachusetts. MASCA welcomes engaging, practical presentations that support student success and strengthen the counseling profession.
Preference is given to sessions that relate directly to the work of school counselors, or to the implementation of the MA Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs. Also, presentations that pertain to these domains: Academic, Career, and/or Personal / Social – Social / Emotional Presentations, should include evidence that supports the impact of the program or service. We are looking for presentations that will help build the capacity of Massachusetts school counselors to help our students be ready for the next step on their academic journey.
