  • Chabot Area Counseling Collaborative Executive Summary
    Chabot Area Counseling Collaborative Executive Summary 2019 Intended Purpose The intention of this summary is to help identify and solidify the benefits of intersegmental work, creating and supporting positive outcomes for the college and high school partners. It is also important to highlight the work of our partners and the strength and power of collaboration. I. Overview of Chabot Area Counseling Collaborative The Chabot Area Counseling Collaborative (CACC) began during the 2015-16 academic year with the support of the California Career Pathways Trust Grant (CCPT) which called for intersegmental alignment between Chabot College and four of its local school districts: Castro Valley USD, Hayward USD, San Leandro USD, San Lorenzo USD, and Eden Area ROP. The CCPT provided a unique opportunity to bring high school and college counselors together to work on creating smooth transitions for students and stronger relationships between institutions. From the very beginning, CACC has had the support of high school and college administration and received technical assistance and guidance from the Career Ladders Project, as well as integration into the California Counseling Network (CACN). As part of this statewide network of high school and community college counselors, CACC counselors have benefited from regular counselor-focused professional development convenings, regional professional learning events, and an online community of practice that supports counselor networking. CACN Benefits to High School and Middle School Counselors Include: ●
