Monday - Dr. Trish Hatch

What it really means for school counselors to be leaders, advocates, and change agents has evolved. Join Dr. Trish Hatch as she recounts her journey of using data to advocate for equity in our schools. Learn new strategies for leading critical conversations that improve policies, practices, and procedures. This proactive work is no longer optional.
