@ecmmason A3. I'm always talking to folks about potential career paths and have gained so much information this way. I love asking people about their careers and how they got where they are- on college tours, folks I've met at @MascaSchool and @ASCAtweets conferences etc. #scchat

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

@ecmmason A2. Lots of reasons! Feeling burnout, realizing a previous district's values did not match my own, seeking better work/life balance...

Most recently I moved to a role focused in college access and post-secondary planning which is what I'm most passionate about. #scchat

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

@ecmmason A1. I've moved schools (and states) a few times as a high school counselor. This year I moved to a new role as a College & Career Counselor. I've also considered moving to student support at the community college level (TRIO or similar program).

Hi all! Joining #scchat for the first time in a long while! I'm Kayla, school counselor in MA.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

@rosEcounselor Thanks!! I learned from the best! 🙂

📢 Educators from the Tewksbury Teachers Association held a rally of respect outside the high school and packed a School Committee meeting this evening, calling for a fair contract. #FairContractNow

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

Graduation day will forever be one of my favorite days of the year. Congratulations Class of 2021!🎓👏🎉

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

On the very small list of things I will miss from this school year: Zoom calls with students that end with, “Wait! Before you go do you want to say hi to my dog?!” (obviously the answer is always yes) #scchat

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

Things I’m appreciative of today: a department head and administrator who support me in using school time to engage in PD of my choosing #scchat

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

@sstigli1 Yes! I actually created a google doc this year with several resources and link to it in my out of office message

[Alix @alixandra27]

“School counselors who operate as social justice advocates and organizational change agents are likely to ruffle feathers of those teachers and administrators who prefer more compliant counselors.” Be a feather ruffler. #scchat

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

“It felt like too much of a game” - this is so spot on! I love that @WPI has the data to back this decision and hope that more colleges will soon follow.

On dropping the ACT and SAT for good: "If the idea of eliminating test scores scares you, ask why." https://t.co/0shTM0gvJp

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

So happy to see this! Testing has got to go 👏 #scchat

[WPI @WPI]

WPI moves to fully “test-blind” admissions further supporting its mission of expanding access to a high-quality #STEM education to all students.

Unbelievably powerful keynote speaker at @ASCAtweets LDI. Suzanne Wilkins empowering. I am changed by this speech. "We must commit ourselves to some future that can include each other, and work toward that future with our particular strengths and identities."

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

As an @MascaSchool Emerging Leader I’m thankful for this opportunity to be “in” the room with so many school counselors leaders from across the country.

[Ms. Schutte @MsKSchutte]

Excited to be joining @ASCAtweets mid-year #LDI virtually today from MA! #scchat
