This a-synchronous (meaning there will not be a set meeting time during the week) class was designed for elementary, middle, and high school counselors in preparing students for various types of post-secondary education. However, this course would also be beneficial for clinical mental health counselors who prepare children and adolescents for various types of post-secondary education. The class will run from 5/21/12-6/22/12. If practicing school counselors would like to use this training as part of their Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) and earn 9 CEUs, you will most likely need to fill out a pre-approval template before taking the class. You can find the ODE recommend form at their website: <a href="http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=546&ContentID=15341&Content=118581" target="_blank">http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=546&ContentID=15341&Content=118581</a> However, you must follow your local school district's guidelines for IPDPs. Clinical mental health counselors can earn 45 CEUs (including your 2-year renewal ethics requirement) by taking this 3 credit hour class and earning a B- or better.
