WACAC’s award winning District Directions program provides a cost-effective model for supporting public school counselors’ efforts to increase college going rates.
Since 2020, there has been a shift in the needs of public school counselors and District Directions is changing to best meet them. With a focus on contract hours and avoiding entire days without counselors on site, we are implementing a pilot program that includes specific counselor-focused programming on Professional Development days, data-driven action planning, opportunities to network and learn from high education partners.
We will be working with Glendale Unified School District in 2024-2025 to provide some initial Professional Development, host listening sessions, and work towards signing an agreement to implement District Directions with them for the 2025-2026 school year.
Thank you to Dr. Esther Hugo, WACAC Past President, for her past leadership of this program.
