*tl:dr*
     It's National School Counseling Week.
     NCWIT C4C is offering a webinar, has resources available and released
a new student created video about the value of counseling.


*Long version: *
Jane Krause and Angela Cleveland, NCWIT Counselors for Computing leaders,
sent a reminder about it being National School Counselor Week. Below are
highlights from the email with some additional links to articles and
resources about the role school counselors can and do play in broadening
participation in computing:

Did you know that this week is National School Counseling Week

*Resources:*

Remember that you can order NCWIT resources for your BPC outreach
activities. NCWIT's research based tools are excellent for getting the word
out about BPC.


*Webinar: *

Jane and Angela will be co-facilitating an ASCA webinar next week (free for
members of ASCA)

Prepare Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Careers (2/15/18 3-4pm EST)
<https://www.schoolcounselor.org/school-counselors/professional-development/2018-webinar-series/webinar-learn-more-pages/prepare-today%E2%80%99s-students-for-tomorrow%E2%80%99s-careers>

Description: Computer science is changing everyone’s lives yet few
contribute to the technologies and services we all use. Learn about the
national Computer Science for All initiative and how school counselors at
the vanguard are supporting new courses and viable career pathways so more
students get involved in the growing fields of computing.


*Video:*

This screen capture video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaWXmVi0nJk&feature=youtu.be> was recently
created by Destini, a first-year Computational Media major at Georgia Tech.
Destini recorded this for a C4C workshop and does an excellent job
highlighting 'the influence counselors have in encouraging students to
explore computer science'. Barbara Ericson's Rise Up 4 CS and Sisters Rise
Up for CS are also mentioned as having a significant impact on Destini's
path to CS and computational media.
