This was my second ASCA conference and it did not disappoint. Going to a conference when you have a PLN on twitter is a whole new experience and I’d have to say a
much better one because you already know people before you get there. This makes the conference so much richer. Las
t year I went by by myself, but I was certainly not alone. It was a very special conference because I was going to surprise my friend Erin Mason. That memory will resonate with me for many years to come. It was a magical moment when I finally suprised her. You can check out my blog post from last year here.
Here are some of the highlights from this years conference:
Connecting with other School Counsellors and friends especially my roomie Bridget @bridgethelms.
Celebrating the book launching and signing of my friend Carol’s @tmscounselor new book Star Bound.
The tweetup . Seeing people F2F is fabulous!
Seeing my friend Ed.Jacobs . I never get tired of listening to him and @doc_schimmel present. They are amazing! If you have never checked out one of their sessions on Impact Therapy and groups you need to!
Tim Schriver’s keynote was so inspirational and of course made me cry.
Russ Sabella’s session on Ethics and School Counselling which inspired this post Privacy An Illusion.
The collaboration and fun things to come… Ideas flow at conferences.
Here are a couple of videos from the conference:
