AI-Powered School Counseling Webinar

We’ve all used tools like ChatGPT to draft an email, but what’s the next play? Artificial intelligence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the new game-changer for school counselors and education. As AI swiftly integrates into daily life, we find ourselves in a world increasingly shaped by kids who are already exploring and using these tools, often without any guidance.

In this session, school counselors will be challenged to take a leading role in teaching students how to handle AI’s rapid advances with agility, confidence and safety. Explore how you can use AI to enhance communications, streamline processes, and support students’ social, emotional and academic growth. From using AI chatbots to role-play difficult social situations to creating innovative career exploration tools, this session will inspire you to push boundaries and think beyond the basics. Together, we’ll discover how counselors can harness AI’s potential to empower students while ensuring they navigate this fast-moving digital landscape safely.
