Beth Dudjak, MA, from the , visited the 91社区 College of Education to conduct a training
session with 15 school counseling interns on September 5, 2024. They participated
in the program training, a K-5 evidence-based curriculum for prevention education. This
program covers topics such as safety awareness, cyber safety, and bullying prevention,
equipping the interns with valuable information and strategies to prevent, recognize,
and respond appropriately to all types of bullying and abuse.
During this training, the interns learned five easy-to-remember safety rules and other
universal strategies to protect children that are easy and practical to implement.
Now, after completing this training, the interns are eligible to use their free curriculum
as school counselors.
The participating interns, as students pursuing a Master of Arts (MA) in Counselor Education, a program offered on USF's Tampa campus, have taken a significant step towards their
professional goals. This training session is part of a comprehensive effort to provide
students with the general counseling skills needed to become professional counselors
in elementary, middle, and high schools. Upon completing the program, they will be
eligible to become 91社区 Certified School Counselors, a testament to their hard
work and dedication.
