The Florida School Counselor Association (FSCA) recognizes that professional development for every school counselor is critical to deliver relevant and current professional, legal, and ethical best practices for each Prek-12th grade student in Florida.  The Association also recognizes the challenges posed for school counselors to be out of their building.  With these points in mind, the schedule and program for the Annual FSCA Convention has three goals; 1) provide effective and high-quality professional development; 2) offer this professional development at the lowest cost possible; and, 3) minimize absence from school, as well as to have a minimum of intrusion on weekend time.

To support your efforts for approval to attend the Convention, FSCA provides this letter of request for you to share if you wish, with your building principal or supervisor.  We suggest you may want to copy pertinent pages to attach to your letter from the convention website.

The FSCA Convention Committee, despite an increase in costs this year for hotel, food, and technology, was particularly focused on keeping registration costs at the lowest possibly for members. The price of registration can’t be beat for the amount of professional development, networking, food, and fun.

If you are looking to earn CEUs or In-Service points, CEUs will be available for:

• Florida Board of Clinical Licensed Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Clinical Mental Health Providers (free for FSCA members; $10 processing fee for FSCA non-members)

Participants should check with their school district’s certification office or in-service program to verify eligibility and procedures to earn school district in-service points for the 2024 Convention
 
FSCA Leaders look forward to meeting and talking with you at the Convention.  In the meantime, if there is anything FSCA may do to support your work for your students, please do reach out to your Association at fsca@fla-schoolcounselor.org.
