Child Welfare and Attendance Specialization

This course emphasizes school, home, and community factors contributing to school attendance, related laws, and intervention programs designed to enhance attendance and school safety.
Alejandro RodriguezI was inspired to pursue a graduate degree in educational counseling by reflecting on the need for students to have an individual who wants to see them do great things and help them reach their goals. Cal Lutheran's M.S. in Counseling for K-12 schools program seemed like the best fit for me when I noticed their mission to cultural proficiency and inclusiveness. The program has allowed me the opportunity to grow in a comfortable setting and become the best version of myself.
