To meet the academic, career, and personal/social needs of all students, teachers equipped to address non-curricular issues as a ‘first responder’ may improve classroom climate/culture and achievement for all students.

Additionally, it is a pathway for those who may be considering the school counseling profession. The 15-credit Counselor Coach Certification has a sequence of five (5) graduate courses with a field experience component. The candidate may complete the sequence within one academic year.
