Improvement-Con

School counselors play a critical yet often underutilized role in supporting LCAP Priority 6 (School Climate) and Priority 8 (Other Student Outcomes). This session will explore how districts can strategically integrate school counselors into their Differentiated Assistance improvement plans to enhance student achievement, equity, and overall school climate.

Participants will learn how to leverage data-driven counseling programs to address student needs, create safe and supportive learning environments, and promote college, career, and life readiness. Through interactive discussion and real-world district examples, attendees will gain actionable strategies to incorporate counseling expertise into multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), restorative practices, T-SEL initiatives, and data-driven decision-making.

Whether your district is refining its improvement plan or reimagining student support structures, this session will provide tools to maximize the impact of school counselors in fostering a positive school climate and improving student outcomes. Ideal for district leaders, administrators, and LCAP teams.
