They explore resources that will support this process, as well as schedule pertinent check-in dates with their technical assistance provider. As Session 1 of the training comes to a close, participants discuss how they feel about the key takeaways from the training, challenges they anticipate in the action research, and ways that GREAT Centers (and their own colleagues) can support their research.

Present slide 5 on the Best Bet Profile, asking participants to pull it out of the back pocket of the training binder, then present slide 6, emphasizing the fact that we care less about the design than about ensuring the right level of information is captured so that students can make informed decisions. Note that others have modified the design and are even getting their own students involved in design efforts.

3 minutes

3. Present slide 7 on the key steps of an informed guidance process. Reiterate that this training is less about how to counsel students and more about getting the right level of information to support the

counseling process. Situate Counseling to Careerswithin an informed guidance process.
