Welcome to the first episode of the Owlcast, President’s Edition, with Dr. Peggy Pelonis, President of ACS Athens. In this episode, we unbundle and explore the vital role of K-12 counselors and advisors in our education system. We are exploring the multifaceted importance of these professionals in ensuring our children's safety, well-being, and holistic development.
Joining Dr. Pelonis, are Cheryl Brown, Founder and Executive Director of the International School Counselor Association, and Brooke Fezler, Founder and Associate Executive Director of ISCA. This podcast was recorded as The Annual Conference of the International School Counselor Association was being held in Athens, March 7-9, where the focus was "Keeping Our Students Safe" through Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB). This theme shaped the in-person 2 1/2 day event, offering workshops, keynote talks, panel discussions and workshops from counselors and leaders in the field centered around DEIJB principles.
Listen as we unpack the importance surrounding the function of K-12 counselors and advisors and envision a future where every student thrives.
