Supporting Marginalized Populations for Counselors

This workshop touches on multiple topics that speak to encouraging and supporting marginalized populations, including females, minorities, and black students. Participants will be guided on a discussion of how counselors can encourage marginalized students to enroll (and succeed) in gifted and talented or accelerated/advanced courses including math and science. Strategies will focus on tutoring and enrichment, and programs that will address issues or proficiency, student trauma and effective study habits. A variety of resources will also be provided for immediate use.
