Voices from the Field: School Counselors Working to Close the Gap

Printer-friendly version

Working as leaders and advocates, school counselors can use data to remove barriers to student achievement and help students gain access to a rigorous, quality education. In this interactive workshop, participants hear how school counselors are working to help schools raise student achievement. Participants will also use the Education Trust’s Making Data Work: A Parent and Community Guide to learn how to use data to identify and eliminate the institutional barriers that keep many students of color and students from low-income families from achieving at high-academic levels.

Presenter:
Mark Kuranz, Department Chair, Case High School and Lead Counselor for Racine Unified School District in Racine, WI
