President's Message

Dear Fellow School Counselors,

Welcome to the Connecticut School Counselor Association!  It is an exciting time to be a school counselor in Connecticut and CSCA has been working hard to assure our voice is heard.  For the first time, school counselors in Connecticut will benefit from data correlating the CT Comprehensive School Counseling Program with improvements in student achievement.  Please visit our home page to see the full report. So much is happening in education in our state. From keeping abreast with proposed certification changes,  to hosting the CSCA Annual Fall Conference, and to having a seat on the P20 Commission, CSCA is there working for you.

I invite you to utilize the tools and information on our website.  There are so many opportunities for relevant professional development, round tables, fall conference information, and access to lesson plans posted on our site. Please check it often!  Your comments and feedback on what you see or what you would like to see posted on our site are always welcomed.

If you are not yet a member of CSCA, now is the time to become one or to renew your membership.  In these times of change and uncertainty, we need to come together as professionals, and CSCA needs the support of its members in order to continue offering the services, support and advocacy that have been of such great benefit over the years.  Simply click the “Join” link on this page to become a member now.

Are you a member and looking for a way to more involved in your profession?  Consider getting involved with a CSCA committee. It is a great way to meet other counselors in the state, network, and to give back to your profession. Committees are forming now to plan goals and events for the year. If you are interested in joining a committee, please email us at: info@ctschoolcounselor.org. 

I am thrilled and honored to serve as your president for the 2010-11 school year.  Together we can bring school counseling to the forefront in Connecticut!

Sincerely,

Dr. Nicole DeRonck
