The counselor and guidance education master’s degree program within the School of Arts and Sciences at Malone College will hold an informational meeting regarding the College’s newest offering—a concentration in classroom guidance.  The meeting—scheduled to take place Thursday, June 12 at 9 a.m. in the Fred F. Silk Auditorium of Mitchell Hall, located on the campus at 515 25th Street N.W. in Canton—is free and open to the public.  Contact David Kleffman, assistant director of graduate admissions, at dkleffman@malone.edu.
 
The classroom guidance concentration within the counselor and guidance education master’s degree program is planned to empower teachers to help their own students across the educational spectrum; to enhance their student-centered problem-solving skills, and to make teachers more valuable members of the school community.
 
The new licensure standards in Ohio require teachers to earn a master’s degree.  Many teachers are interested in understanding more about how to respond to the diverse and troubled nature of their students. The completion of the master’s degree in classroom guidance would enable teachers to achieve two desired goals with one degree in a timely manner. Further, all teachers must continually increase their educational expertise by earning more college credits. Offering a 36 hour master’s program enhances the educational atmosphere on a daily basis, and lays the groundwork toward licensure to become a professional school counselor. Teachers can choose to continue their college credits toward licensure.
