Equipping Educators: Counselor Strategies for Tier 1 and 2 SEL

This interactive professional learning session equips K–12 school counselors and educators with practical, evidence-based Tier 1 and Tier 2 behavioral and social-emotional development strategies they can implement within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Participants will explore how school counselors can lead, collaborate, and consult with educators to create supportive learning environments that promote self-regulation, positive relationships, responsible decision-making, and a sense of belonging.

Grounded in the ASCA National Model and comprehensive school counseling program practices, this session emphasizes the school counselor’s role in delivering preventive, proactive, and data-informed supports that remove barriers to learning while fostering students’ academic, career, and social-emotional development. Participants will leave with practical tools and strategies to improve student engagement, reduce behavioral concerns, and strengthen school climate through intentional school counselor–educator partnerships.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will:

• Identify evidence-based Tier 1 and Tier 2 behavioral and social-emotional development strategies that align with MTSS and a comprehensive school counseling program. 

• Implement developmentally appropriate practices that promote self-regulation, relationship building, and positive student engagement across K–12 settings. 

• Apply restorative, solution-focused, and problem-solving approaches that support student accountability, growth, and a positive school culture. 

• Strengthen collaborative partnerships among school counselors, educators, families, and student support teams to proactively address student needs. 

• Utilize data-informed practices to evaluate interventions and continuously improve student outcomes and school counseling program effectiveness.
