Michigan College Access Network
MCAN offers a variety of professional learning opportunities for counselors including the School Counselor Fellows Program and School Counselor Training: Foundations of Equity in College and Career Counseling, along with a variety of upcoming webinars and recorded webinars, all of which may earn you SCECHs.
School Counselor Fellows Program
MCAN and San Diego State University's Center for Equity and Postsecondary Attainment are now accepting applications for the 2021 cohort of School Counselor Fellows.
The two-year school counselor fellowship will focus on urgent and timely issues impacting school counselor practice. Fellows will investigate how mental health, wellness, and equity-driven practices influence college and career readiness and postsecondary planning.
This fellowship is free to accepted counselors. Participants commit to monthly meetings (via Zoom), as well as independent assignments, readings, reflections, and projects. This program will be submitted for up to 30 SCECHs.
This is different from the School Counselor Training: Foundations of Equity in College and Career Counseling course. Participation in one is not dependent on or impacted by participation in the other.
