Hi Wendy,

I could not agree more. We recently hired a whole group of new staff who are school counselors but also have teaching certifications. The new staff members are called "student success coordinators" and are going to be serving as a hybrid teacher/case manager/counselor. This new group of staff members are going to be on the front line of education, working with their students everyday. With their counseling training and experience and their direct interaction with students, they will have skills and tools that most teachers haven't had in the past. We just completed a three day orientation with the new team members and I am super excited about the possibilities in front of us this coming year, and for many years to come.

It will be fascinating to see where this change takes us, and I will definitely be writing about it as the year progresses.

Thanks again for your thoughts!!
