3 HOUR WORKSHOP FROM 1-4:15 P.M.

Luis South. Elementary School Counselor (USC Magnet School) & Craig Knotts, Celerity Charter School Administrator, “School Counselors’ Focus on Multicultural Leadership”

LAGUNA ROOM 225

This workshop will focus on multiculturalism as a leadership issue. It will address options counselors may design for themselves in order to be effective change agents among leaders. The particular emphasis will be on public school education. The presenters have created a movement in the realm of charter schools to recognize the need for school counselors. The approach will be more about looking at the various players who fall to be on one side or the other, for or against the idea that counselors are essential to changes in a school system.

Learning outcomes:

• Participants will be able to identify key areas of counseling need within the
  charter school environment

• Participants will be able to identify key weaknesses and strengths inherent to
  the development of multicultural leadership

• Participants will be equipped to design and implement strategies to effectively
  place education counseling as a universally accepted necessity in the
  formation of small learning communities and charter schools
