Welcome
to The Academy for College Admission Counseling! |
|
Our Summer Soapbox session is your opportunity to join a group of leaders in our profession who will let you know what they think about our current state of affairs and suggest where we should be heading. Our profession places more challenges on us than ever before; it’s hard to know where we are and where we are going. You’ll be able to join in on the discussion, asking any questions or sharing any opinions that will further advance the conversation. This one-day session is quick and informative. Our summer courses provide a developmental approach to developing a wide repertoire of college counseling skills. The entire sequence of summer courses takes three summers. Each class emphasizes the many internet resources helpful to both counselors and families alike. All of our coursework provides CPDU's through the State of Illinois and most of our summer coursework also carries the option to earn graduate credit from Elmhurst College for an additional fee. In the summer, the Academy offers three fifteen contact-hour classes:
College
Counseling 101
covers the
basic elements of college counseling, focusing on the ethical foundations of
our profession, the factors influencing college choice, the college
application process, financial aid, the student essay, the school profile
and professional advocacy. College Counseling 301 focuses on the knowledge base required to engage in effective college counseling with individual students. Topics that are addressed include ethical scenarios, building the student profile, creating a college profile, advanced issues in financial aid, decision-making theories, dealing with high-maintenance parents, counseling the 2.0 students and preparing for an individual college counseling appointment. Courses run from 9:00 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. Participants receive small group instruction, a comprehensive college counseling manual developed specifically for this course, breakfast and lunch for each of the three days, and all miscellaneous costs. This price is available solely due to the generosity of our sponsors who have helped underwrite all Academy expenses. Privacy is important to us.
