Our August #SCCHAT was held on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 8pmEST. The topic was  Supervising School Counseling Interns . The #scchat was moderated by Jeff Reams ( @CounselingGeek ), high school counselor and author of The Counseling Geek blog. We had great conversations about supervising interns. School counselors shared things that were meaningful from their own internship experiences as well as thing they do with their current interns. This would be a great chat for supervisors and interns to read to get tips and ideas for being an intern and supervising interns.

For a little over an hour on August 4th, 2011 20 gregarious School Counselors from across the country participated in the first ever School Counselor Twitter chat hosted by my co-author, Danielle Schultz.

From this interaction I not only got some fabulous new professional connections in other states, and practical ideas that I can use and share but I also got professional energy. The live, synchronous format of a Twitter chat combines networking, learning and sharing in a unique way you’ll never experience in a traditional professional development event. I for one am hungry for the next School Counselor Twitter chat which is why Danielle and I are pleased to announce that there will be one on the 1st Tuesday of every month!
