Last week I attended a Learn & Serve - Michigan Service Learning Sustainability Symposium with some colleagues. The symposium was intended for K-12 educators and service learning coordinators, but I was ecstatic to go as a representative from higher education because there was so much great information getting spread around!

If you are a school counselor and not signed up for the ASCA SCENE, you are missing out!  This networking site is a professional meeting place for school counseling professionals to share and learn from each other. Get answers to your school counseling questions, share your lesson plans and best practices, become the best school counselor you can be.

This semester I’m teaching Adolescent Literature for the first time . . . and loving it. As a former 8^th grade Language Arts teacher, I was immersed in the texts that my students were reading. We would talk about texts, share book suggestions, and laugh/cry together over the characters’ predicaments.

The Association of Michigan School Counselors (AMSC) and the Michigan School Counselor Association (MSCA) are hosting a joint spring conference on April 27, 2009 at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
