ASU Counselor Education welcomes Colorado school counselors

Adams State University Counselor Education Department hosted the 2018 regional training for the Colorado’s School Counselor Corps Grant Program (SCCGP) on February 23.

SCCG funded districts and schools attend three in-person trainings each year of the grant. CDE partners with postsecondary institutions to host the trainings. These partnerships allow school counselors and administrators to visit campuses across the state. By visiting the campuses the counselors are better equipped to share campus and programs with students during career and college conversations.

Eva Pugh, school counselor coordinator with the Colorado Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Readiness, welcomes Colorado school counselors and administratorsin Adams State McDaniel Hall.

SCCGP funding is awarded to eligible school districts, BOCES, charter schools or Institute charter schools. The purpose of this program is to increase the availability of effective school-based counseling within schools. Grant funds are also used to increase the level of school counseling services provided to improve the graduation rate and increase the percentage of students who appropriately prepare for, apply to and continue into postsecondary education.
