The California Student Aid Commission (Commission) is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 2017-18 Arthur S. Marmaduke High School Counselor Award.

The nominations are submitted electronically through on online nomination form (here is a How do you know if someone is in emotional pain? Nearly 44 million American adults or 1 in 5 people have a diagnosable mental health condition. Oftentimes young people, friends, neighbors, workers, or family members are suffering emotionally and don't recognize the symptoms or will not ask for help. The 5 signs that may mean someone is in emotional pain and might need help are 1) personality changes, 2) being uncharacteristically angry, anxious, agitated or moody, 3) withdrawal or isolation from other people, 4) neglect of self-care and engaging in risky behavior, and 5) hopelessness and being overwhelmed by circumstances. The campaign to ChangeDirection has handouts in English and Spanish available on their website. Handouts can be found and printed from In October, more than 4 million students took the PSAT/NMSQT.

The PSAT/NMSQT reflects what students are learning in the classroom, measures the skills and knowledge necessary for postsecondary success, and is an important step toward college. The PSAT/NMSQT is great practice for the SAT because both tests have the same question types and formats. Students who take the PSAT/NMSQT score higher, on average, on the SAT than those who do not take the PSAT/NMSQT.

Students and educators can use the scores to see areas in which students are thriving or need additional support. PSAT/NMSQT scores are on the same scale as SAT scores, making it easy to track student progress over time. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

In celebration of National School Counselor Week and to provide a long overdue professional development in Northern California, the California Association of School Counselors will host the 2018 Northern California Conference on Feb. 5 in Berkeley, California. The program is designed to focus on the professional development needs of school counselors in Northern California. It unites the best elements of school counseling practices in an exciting and informative conference program. World-class keynote speakers will challenge conventional thinking and the status quo, and breakout sessions are designed to give participants tangible and replicable strategies they utilize immediately. The training will feature the latest information in educational trends and best practices in California, including strategies for improving school climate, addressing trauma, attending to students' mental health needs, improving attendance and increasing college readiness rates. Attendees will also be able to visit with exhibitors, college representatives and other conference sponsors of the event.

This year's conference will be held at the HS Lordships Restaurant, a conference center on the Berkeley Marina (just a short Uber ride from the Berkeley BART stations). This conference center also has the benefit of a tremendous view of the San Francisco skyline. The program begins at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at 3:30 p.m. Immediately following the event, CASC will host a social to celebrate National School Counselor week. Breakfast and lunch are included in the registration cost. Registration opens on Nov. 9, 2017 at www.schoolcounselor-ca.org. This event is anticipated to sellout, so register early and take advantage of the Early Bird rate.

After taking the PSAT/NSMQT, students can link their College Board account to Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy ( satpractice.org) and can use their score to get a free personalized SAT study plan, focusing on the areas where they need the most work. These free study tools help students prepare for test day and support classroom instruction. Official SAT Practice features thousands of interactive questions with instant feedback, video lessons that walk students through how to solve a problem step by step, eight full-length practice tests, test-taking tips and strategies, and a practice schedule based on the student's upcoming test date. Jan. 1 marked the start of my 17th year as a public school educator and my 12th as a high school administrator. For many, the new year signals a rebirth. It is an opportunity to start fresh with a new idea, a new habit or a renewed commitment to something designed to promote improvement. As I sit at my desk this morning, I feel inspired to share my New Year's resolutions in hopes that they may inspire you to start 2018 off right, too!

The PSAT/NMSQT is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. The College Board's scholarship and recognition partners, including the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, and United Negro College Fund, provide over $180 million annually to qualified, low-income and minority students based on PSAT/NMSQT scores.

Students' PSAT/NMSQT scores can also help indicate their potential to succeed in challenging Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Students and educators can review their PSAT/NMSQT score report together to discuss AP courses that the students may excel in and which AP classes are offered at their school. AP Potential helps schools ensure that no student is overlooked and encourages more students to challenge themselves with college-level coursework. Students who succeed on AP Exams can save money on tuition and are more likely to graduate on time.

PSAT/NMSQT scores can help students stay on track for college. Learn more at psat.org.

eSchool News
Year after year, educators and those invested in education love to speculate about what will take off in the near future. And as far as riveting news goes, nothing quite peaks the interest like new trends that have the potential to fundamentally change learning. In almost all of the commentary from both educators and industry, the mention of AR and VR for 2018's big trends were ubiquitous. So much so, we could only include just a few AR/VR pieces here in our inaugural "eSchool Media's Annual Trends Report," which compiles some of the most practical, forward-looking predictions from educators and industry on what will trend for the upcoming year in both K-12 and higher education.

One of my goals this year was to find a way to recognize all of the amazing things students do in the makerspace at University Liggett School. It's open to students all day and after school, and they're doing amazing things with Python, littleBits, 3D design, Raspberry Pi, and so much more. While report cards can be used to show parents what students have learned in class - sort of - the makerspace did not have a means to do this. It's hard to show parents lines of code and have them understand that their child has mastered the skill of making an LED blink. That's where badging comes in. READ MORE

U.S. News & World Report
As 2017 comes to a close, many teens are feeling the effects of devastating events, including school shootings, natural disasters and terrorist attacks. "They are bombarded constantly, and they are very connected to it," says David Head, director of mental health and wellness for Communities In Schools Houston, part of a national nonprofit that provides services to underserved students. Students directly and indirectly affected by these events may be feeling the effects of trauma - including difficulty concentrating, anxiety, fear, withdrawal from others and loss of control. And these could hurt their academic performance, he says. READ MORE

Fewer than half of the nation's secondary schools offer a chemistry course, according to a new analysis from the Education Week Research Center. The lack of chemistry dovetails with what appears to be increasing concern about the phenomenon of science and STEM "deserts," or places where students have fewer opportunities to take classes in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

Play too many video games? The World Health Organization might soon say you suffer from "gaming disorder." A draft of WHO's 11th update of International Classification of Diseases characterizes the disorder as "recurrent" gaming behavior manifested by "impaired control over gaming," "increasing priority given to gaming," and "escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences."

Sometime in the not-so-distant future, researchers predict people will be able to see easily through opaque objects and visualize what's invisible to the naked eye - and they won't need a bulky and expensive machine to do it. Called hyperimaging, or multispectral imaging, this technology taps into portions of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can't see, like radio waves, millimeter waves, microwaves and X-rays. Humans see less than 99.9 percent of waves on the spectrum, but Alberto Valdes Garcia, research staff member and manager of the RF Circuits and Systems group at IBM, is working on harnessing this technology to help people see like a superhero.

And will Congress prevent hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers" from being deported? READ MORE

Nevada recently launched an online reporting system for parents and students, joining a handful of other states and districts in efforts to combat bullying. Colorado was first to create an online bullying reporting tool in 2004, five years after the Columbine shooting. Since then, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah and Michigan have passed laws mandating the creation of statewide online reporting systems. READ MORE

The Associated Press via PBS Newshour
Alarmed by the proliferation of false content online, state lawmakers around the country are pushing schools to put more emphasis on teaching students how to tell fact from fiction. Lawmakers in several states have introduced or passed bills calling on public school systems to do more to teach media literacy skills that they say are critical to democracy. The effort has been bipartisan but has received little attention despite successful legislation in Washington state, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Mexico. READ MORE

District Administration Magazine
School districts are elevating physical education standards and expanding athletic activities beyond traditional sports to provide a more well-rounded education as required by the Every Student Succeeds Act. Instead of old favorites such as dodgeball and basketball, many districts have introduced more individually focused activities such as rock climbing, cross-training and yoga. READ MORE

Edutopia (commentary)
Andrew Miller, a contributor for Edutopia, writes: "I'm really excited to see that educators are clear about the use of formative and summative assessment. We're using formative assessment to gauge the effectiveness of our teaching and to know what our students know and have yet to learn. We're using summative assessment to evaluate student progress toward course goals and report grades." READ MORE

About Our PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

At Hatching Results, we know that the work of designing a school counseling program requires an intensive commitment of time and talent and can vary from location to location. Typically, full implementation of a school counseling program aligned with the use of data, evidenced-based practices, and the ASCA National Model takes a minimum of three years. Our Three Year Comprehensive Professional Development package is our most requested plan. By the fourth year, our goal is to establish a professional learning community and "Trainer of Trainers" model to ensure sustainability and to increase readiness for district sustainable leadership. Some of our districts have applied for and received the American School Counselor Association's RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program) recognition.

Based on your districts needs, goals, timeline, current implementation status level, and other factors, Dr. Hatch and her expert team will collaborate to provide the personalized services your district needs and to define a professional development schedule grounded in co-constructed measurable objectives.
