Overview
About the Program
You’re trained to support students, but when was the last time you had formal training in how classrooms actually work? This certificate gives school counselors practical grounding in instructional design, classroom management, and school processes so you can show up more confidently in every corner of your building.
The School Counselor Leadership Certificate is built for working counselors who want to be more effective in instructional settings, whether that means leading classroom lessons, collaborating with teachers, or simply understanding the environment your students spend most of their day in.
Courses count toward license renewal or professional development hours, so the time you invest works double duty.
