Workshops create an excellent opportunity for high school counselors and college representatives to exchange information and renew professional relationships.
Counselor workshops, held throughout Colorado each fall, are an opportunity to share knowledge and recharge professional relationships. Breakout sessions cover topics such as college/university academics, admissions, financial aid, and much more. Participants benefit from visiting several college campuses.
Registration for the 2010 Fall Counselor Workshops is open.
Register soon as space is limited. Registration ends on Friday, September 10.

Workshops and graduate credit are possible thanks to collaboration with two other not-for-profit organizations, The Professional Development Institute (PDI) and Rocky Mountain Association of College Admission Counseling (RMACAC), both of whom support the professional development of high school counselors.
There are two ways to gain credit for the Fall Counselor Workshops and the December Annual Conference of the Colorado Council on High School/College Relations:
In-service/Professional Development Credit (No charge) One-half credit is given for attendance at one day of the Fall Counselor Workshops. Similarly, 1/2 credit is given for attendance at one day of the December Annual Conference. At the end of each day, the attendee completes a form with name, school, address and email. A certificate is produced after the completion of each day and mailed to the attendee.
Adams State College Credit ($ Fee) One college credit through Adams State College is given to attendees of one day of the Fall Counselor Workshops AND one day of the December Annual Conference, OR two days of the December Annual Conference. At the end of the December conference, the attendee completes the Adams State College registration form, pays a fee (check or credit card) and receives instructions on writing a 2-page reaction paper. Once papers are received and graded by the instructor, a grade list is mailed to Adams State where proper credit is assigned. Transcript requests can be made to Adams State.
