I just got back from the American School Counselor Association Conference on Tuesday evening. I had an amazing time connecting and sharing with other school counselors from all over the world!  It was so much fun and I was absolutely exhausted when I got back.  There is so much I want to tell you about my time at ASCA so I will be sharing everything in multiple posts! One of my most favorite things about the 2012 ASCA conference was hosting two School Counselor Tweet Ups with  Dr. Erin Mason , a Counselor Educator at DePaul in Chicago, IL, and creator of  School Counselors' Online Professional Exchange (SCOPE) .  Dr. Mason and I hosted the School Counselor Tweet Ups as a way for school counselors and educators who follow and participate in School Counselor Tweet Chats ( #scchat ) to meet up live!  Both Tweet Ups were well attended and a huge success!  It was so surreal to meet school counselors I interact with all the time on Tw...
