2019 MASCA Video Contest

The Massachusetts School Counselor Association announces the 2019 MASCA Video Contest.  This contest gives Massachusetts school counselors, school counseling graduate students, and school counselor educators an opportunity to advocate for their profession by providing valuable insight into the role of the school counselor.  The recent change to the license moving from Guidance Counselor to School Counselor was made in an attempt to more fully encapsulate the everyday role and training of the school counseling profession. 

Help inform our stakeholders just what a school counselor is by creating a short video and entering it in the 2019 MASCA Video Contest. Video entries for this year’s contest should address the question, “What is a school counselor?”

Please note that MASCA may post video entries on the MASCA website, MASCA Facebook page, MASCA Twitter account, and MASCA YouTube Channel to reach a large audience of stakeholders, including administrators, teachers, parents, students, and future school counselors.
