The Mississippi Department of Education through The Office of Secondary Education, is offering two additional Graduation Ready Counselor Workshops. This is the same training that was offered regionally in fall 2017 and spring 2018, and provides an additional opportunity for those who were previously unable to attend. Districts should send a team from each school feeder pattern consisting of a middle school counselor, high school counselor, CTE counselor, Student Service Coordinators, and district counseling supervisor.  These trainings will provide a detailed guide and useful strategies for implementation of the Individual Success Plan (ISP), a review of the new graduation options, as well as best practices to address the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: K-12 College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student. The training will be Thursday June 7, 2018 at the Central High School Auditorium in Jackson, MS.  There will be a morning (8:30 AM-11:30 AM) and afternoon session (1:30 PM-3:30 PM). The same content will be presented in both sessions. Registration is available on GoSignMeUp! via the MDE website. For questions, contact Chandrea Walker at c[email protected]
