President’s Message
Dear NCSCA GAME CHANGERS,
Welcome to conference 2015! This has been a banner year
for not just NCSCA, but for the counseling profession as a
whole. This year we’ve had NC counselors recognized at the
White House as NC School Counselors of the Year, NCSCA
leadership attended the White House Convenings in San Diego
and Jacksonville, assisted with the inception of the NC School
Counseling Leadership Team, joined the School Mental Health
Stakeholders group and the NC Public School’s Forum Study
Group, in addition to many others! Our voice is being heard all
over North Carolina!
There have also been some smaller, but equally as important victories! Counselors from all
over the state have been emailing with stories of having their name changed from guidance
to school counselor, having their guidance rotation lessened or even taken away, and signing
their first management agreement with their principals! These are all giant steps forward in
strengthening our profession, and through that, strengthening our students.
Take time to remember those who were GAME CHANGERS for you and reach out to thank
them. On a personal note, I would like to publicly thank my high school counselor, Angela
Bridges for her kindness, belief in me, and non-judgmental attitude. Without her and my family,
Diane, Soupy, and Russ, I would not be the school counselor I am today.
We cannot stop here! We are meant to be the agents of change in our schools and communities,
the GAME CHANGERS! Through simple conversations and support of college, diversity,
goal setting, etc… we can CHANGE the GAME for our students. This conference is meant to
empower you to go to back to your school and MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN! Now more than
ever, it is important that we continue to advocate for our profession. Enjoy the conference and
remember:
YOU ARE A GAME CHANGER!!
Sincerely,
Christina Welch
NCSCA President

NCSCA Mission Statement
The mission of the North Carolina School Counselor Association is to promote excellence in the profession of school
counseling and the development of all students.
(NCSCA Bylaws, Article I, sec.2)
The purpose of the North Carolina School Counselor Association shall be as follows:
a.
To unite in one organization all persons actively engaged in school counseling in North Carolina
b.
To maintain and improve professional standards in the field of school counseling
c.
To promote and support a clear and professional role for school counselors in the academic mission of
schools throughout North Carolina
d.
To serve as a central clearing agency for promoting research and disseminating information pertaining
to school counselors in our state.
e.
To work in all possible ways to encourage public interest in and support for developmental counseling
programs in the schools of North Carolina
f.
To cooperate in purpose and function with the American School Counselor Association
NCSCA History and Purpose
The North Carolina School Counselor Association (NCSCA) promotes professionalism and ethical practices in school
counseling while providing resources, knowledge and networking opportunities to promote student success in school, home
and the community. The mission of NCSCA is to promote excellence in the profession of school counseling and through/
in practice, the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students.
The NCSCA was established in 1960 as a division of the North Carolina Counseling Association (NCCA) with the election of
the first president, Judy Barrett. The late Dr. Roy Anderson is credited as the person who assisted in getting the organization
moving. In 1967, NCSCA became a chartered division of the American School Counselor Association [ASCA] when Bill
Tucker received the charter in Dallas, Texas. In 2007, NCSCA celebrated its 40th anniversary as a division of ASCA. NCSCA
soon became the largest division of NCCA until 2005, when NCSCA became independently incorporated. NCSCA became
independent of NCCA in 2007. However, in 2007-2008 a dialogue was opened between the leadership by Dr. Reneé Evans
to create a new collaborative relationship that received final approval of both boards in 2009.
NCSCA struggled financially in the early years. Julia Morris, secretary of NCPGA (now NCCA), encouraged the organization
to grow and develop a balanced budget. Dr. Cheryl Posner-Cahill’s administration served as a catalyst for reform in the
financial arena. She worked for increased membership, improved programs, increased exhibitors and keeping good financial
records.
Many NCSCA Board of Directors members have assumed leadership roles in ASCA, ACA and NCCA [to name a few]
as a result of their experience on the Board. Dr. Betty Knox served as the first full-time President of ASCA and later was
elected to the position of President of ACA. Dr. Cynthia Terres also served as ASCA president, and Barbara Potts served
as ASCA Elementary Vice President. Eric Sparks served as ASCA President during 2007-08, and is currently the ASCA
Assistant Director. From 2006-2008, Marrius Pettiford was ASCA’s Southern Region Vice-President. These are but a few
of the NCSCA Board of Directors members who served on ASCA and/or ACA boards.
Leadership improvement became the focus of the presidencies of Neomi TePaske and Ruth McSwain. They held training
sessions for leaders, brought into the organization new leaders and new ideas, and always kept every section of the state
involved. Kenneth Simington, Nina Cassidy and Sam Almond and their boards worked to make NCSCA financially stable,
legislatively active, and technologically sophisticated. In 1998 NCSCA started a website and in 1999 in cooperation with
Dr. Pat Partin of Gardner-Webb University, NCSCA launched a listserv. Liz Conroy, Audrey Thomasson and Eric Sparks
8
emphasized advocacy. Their boards led the establishment of a legislative agenda and Legislative Day, the hiring of a lobbyist,
and the work of promoting school counselors’ issues in the NC Legislature.
In 2003, Vicky Rodgers focused on continuing school counselor advocacy. During the administration of Linda Kopec in
2004, NCSCA experienced major growth in conference attendance. In 2005, Dr. Marrius Pettiford initiated the NCSCA
Scholarship for a student in a Graduate School Counseling Program. In addition, the focus on National Model Training and
introduction of policy governance was set as goals for the entire board. These efforts required board members to consider
their intention for serving on the NCSCA Board of Directors, as well as effective ways to carry out board business. In 2006,
under the leadership of Tara Bissette, NCSCA incorporated and an association management company was hired to bring
better efficiency to running the business of our growing state association. In 2007, Portia Lambright focused on National
Model Training and increased school counselor advocacy.
In 2008, Dr. Reneé Evans focused the board towards the business of running an effective association. The board was asked
to attend to intentionality of serving members, working collaboratively with administrators at the building and system level,
strategic planning, and policy governance. Dr. Evans was instrumental in creating a Professional Development Committee
to expand PD opportunities for members. Dr. Marrius Pettiford led the committee to focus on: the Speakers’ Bureau,
Mentoring, Scholarships, National Model Trainings and Mini Grants. In 2008, NCSCA reached its highest membership
numbers with 1,500 members and record conference attendance. In 2009, Dr. Ed Wierzalis restructured the board to include
8 regional representatives as Vice Presidents of the association. In addition, Dr. Wierzalis created the NCSCA Emerging
Leaders Program. Summer of 2009, the professional development committee offered NCSCA’s first Summer Academies.
In 2010, under the leadership of Lori Wike, NCSCA focused on several enhancements to improve member services via our
website and membership database management system. In 2011, the leadership of Deirdra Williams led the association to
increased activism by working with many stakeholders such as the North Carolina Association of School Administrators,
NC State Board of Education and NCDPI. The crowning jewel of her leadership was the work to establish the first ever
NCSCA Delegate Assembly.
In 2012, Dr. Marrius Pettiford worked with the board to expand policy governance with the formation of active committees and
establish our own corporate identity with a virtual office and development of an Operations Management Committee which
developed evaluations for NCSCA committees and staff. This year was noteworthy in that NCSCA was also instrumental
in working on the New School Counselor Evaluation Instrument and the Guidance Essential Standards. This year was
historical in that this was a second presidential term for Dr. Pettiford. In 2013, Nicki Neumann continued the move toward
self-improvement and presided over the first Delegate Assembly.
In 2013, NCSCA saw the fruits of many years of advocacy come into fruition with the state legislature passing a law
protecting school counselor time to 80% on direct services to students and 20% on school counseling program management.
In addition, school counselors could no longer be placed in the role of test coordinators.
In 2013-2014, under the leadership of Cecil Coates, NCSCA focused on organizational leadership to enhance all NCSCA
activities throughout the year. The Board of Directors participated in a Summer Leadership Academy that focused on
building team skills to reach out and understand NCSCA membership and developed expertise in encompassing all members,
thus supporting all students of North Carolina. Through Cecil’s leadership, North Carolina School Counselors celebrated
victory with the NC Legislative for ASCA’s recommendation of spending 80% in direct and indirect services to students
plus 20% in program management, system support, and accountability. Under Cecil’s leadership and with support from
ASCA, NCSCA Elections now take place during the Fall Conference Delegate Assembly. In 2014-2015, under the leadership of Vanessa Barnes, the Conference theme was “North Carolina School Counselors
Are Ready!” School counselors were definitely ready too. During the year, counselors were celebrated like never before. We saw Michele Obama address the ASCA conference in Disney and launch the Reach Higher initiative and really shed
light on the importance of school counselors nationally. For the first time, the White House celebrated the national school
counselor of the year with a visit and North Carolina also had three semi-finalists to attend. Definitely a highlight for us
all. North Carolina school counselors were READY all year and shattered records for attendance at conference and all
regional drive-ins.
NCSCA affords North Carolina school counselors the opportunity for personal and professional growth, one of its prime
reasons for existence since its inception in 1960. This is a dynamic professional organization, examining and adjusting
its structure and goals over the years, while maintaining its focus on the needs of school counselors and students in North
Carolina.

Professional Conference
Etiquette
Much time and effort has gone into the planning of this conference, so take advantage of growing
professionally and having a wonderful time! Many attendees have also sacrificed time and/or money
to be here to learn the most current practices in our field. For a successful conference for all, keep in
mind the following tips:
Please:
• Mute all ringers and beepers on cellular phones and pagers before entering session rooms.
• Take only one set of handouts. Handouts will be posted on our website later to download for
your colleagues.
• Out of courtesy to our presenters and your fellow attendees, we ask that attendees arrive on time
and stay until the end of each session. Entrance into a room is limited to the first 10 minutes.
Movement in and out of the room is distracting to your fellow school counselors and to the
presenter.
• Respect the speaker. As a speaker, it can be frustrating to be on a stage in front of a group and
realize attendees are chatting amongst themselves. If you must have a conversation or make a
phone call, please leave the room out of respect.
• Express your gratitude and enjoyment of a session by noting them on your evaluation form.
• “Adopt the “2-2-2” Conference Attitude! Make two friends, reacquaint yourself with two old
friends and find two new ideas to take back with you!”
• Due to fire safety codes, once a session is full, no one is allowed to stand in the back of the
room.
Please remember
to visit the Exhibitors!

Pre-Conference General Session
Wednesday, November 11th
Pre-Conference Keynote Speaker ~ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm ~ Imperial Ballroom A-D
1.75 Contact Hours
Dr. John Barge is a 24-year veteran educator with experience as a high school English teacher,
middle school Spanish teacher, assistant principal, principal, curriculum director and most recently,
the Georgia State Superintendent of Schools. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Berry College, his
master’s and specialist’s degree from West Georgia, and his doctorate degree from the University of
Georgia.
During the four years of Dr. Barge’s tenure as State Superintendent graduation rates increased 18% and
student achievement reached heights never before seen. Currently Georgia ranks 9th in the nation in AP Exam pass rates.
Georgia moved from 48th in SAT scores to 45th; 37th to 30th in ACT scores; and ranks 5th in the nation overall in 10year growth in 4th grade reading; 5th in closing the achievement of 8th graders from poverty in mathematics, and in 2014
Georgia graduated more seniors than ever in State history.
Dr. Barge’s keynote presentation is titled, What? Eliminate School Counselors? Believe it or not, the elimination of
school counselors was one Georgia school district’s solution to cutting their operating expenses in order to accommodate
budget cuts from the State. Come hear how State policy makers can promote the effective and efficient use of counselors
in the quest for increased student performance. Adequate funding, protecting counselor’s time, and understanding the
challenges facing today’s counselors are just a few ways that policy makers can make a difference. You will also hear how
the State Education Agency worked with the State Counselors Association in the development of a 21st century counselor
evaluation instrument.

Core Skill Building Workshop 2 - Appropriate Response to a Subpoena
Domain: Personal/Social / Room: Victoria B & C
Standard 5, Actively Reflect on Your Practice
NCDPI Literacy Area: Counseling Skills Literacy
Dr. Willie Fleming
Responding to a subpoena can be one of the most stressful experiences a school counselor will
encounter. Often times, school counselors don’t know their rights and will find themselves
overwhelmed and perplexed as they ask “How should I respond?” “What are my rights?” And equally
important, “How do I protect my student client’s privacy?” Although, school counselors concern
themselves with the responsibility of protecting student’s confidentiality, there is also the legal and
ethical responsibility that has to be considered. Using an experiential format, special emphasis will
be placed on the difference between a subpoena to surrender case notes and counselor records and a court order to
surrender case notes and records. Participants will spend some time creating efficient case notes and record keeping, that
honors the School Counselor’s student advocacy responsibility and ACA Code of Ethics as it pertains to responding to
subpoenas.
Dr. Willie Clarence Fleming, is a Full Professor of Mental Health Counseling, and coordinates the program at
the Statesville Campus, for Gardner-Webb University. He is NCDPI Certified School Counselor, a NC Licensed
Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Dr. Fleming is the namesake of the Fleming Endowed
Scholarship at Appalachian State University.

School Tragedy Plan
Domain: Personal/Social / Room: Grandover
Standard 1, Demonstrates Leadership, Advocacy and Collaboration
NCDPI Literacy Area: Counseling Skills Literacy
Dave Opalewski
Debriefing is NOT counseling. It is a group method that helps students and/or staff to process and
defuse their emotional reactions by means of educational, preventative and supportive process. It is
designed to prevent unnecessary complications that follow exposure to tragedies and accelerate healing
from the terror induced by traumatic incidents. This presentation will discuss the benefits of a trained
debriefing team, formation of debriefing teams, explore the mechanics of the debriefing process, and
specific incidents which may require debriefing.
Purpose of Debriefing
• To prevent the formation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• To identify issues and support needed
• To normalize
• To identify incidents that require the debriefing process
• To provide hope
• To provide the participants being debriefed to understand what happened, grieve, commemorate, and provide selfcare.
Dave has been in education since 1972 and is one of the leading grief recovery experts in the United States. He has taught
Suicide Prevention, Death Education and Grief classes for Delta College, Central Michigan University, Saginaw Valley
State University and all throughout the Michigan area. He actively participates in professional forums and is highly sought
as a speaker at state and national professional conferences. He has worked as an aftercare consultant for a funeral home to
help surviving victims, and has also led numerous crisis teams for schools in developing their crises response programs.

Conflict Resolution Strategies for K-12
Students

PS
ES MS HS
Room: Auditorium 4
Conflict is a natural part of life. Unhealthy reactions to
conflict lead to disruptions in learning, violence, and crime
in our schools. School counselors are positioned to assist
students in dealing with conflict in peaceful ways to promote
a safe and orderly environment essential to promoting high
standards for learning and ensuring that all children have
the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. This
session will introduce evidence-based interventions that
provide young people with the knowledge and skills needed
to settle disputes peacefully. School counseling strategies
will be provided to help bring about significant reductions in
conflict-related suspensions, disciplinary referrals, academic
disruptions, playground fights, and family and sibling disputes.

Too many times school counselors become so engrossed in their responsibilities of ensuring that students and school staff are

often spills over into their personal lives. As a result, it frequently interferes with their effectiveness in being parents, adult
children, and community leaders/volunteers. The need for Worklife Balance is essential in this field, and must be practiced on
a consistent basis in an effort to give the very best to our students, staff, family, and community. Today’s session will allow an

Calming the Counselor: Fun and Easy Relaxation Tips
1 Contact Hour
Room: Augusta
A counselor’s ever-growing to-do list seldom includes one very important task: Relaxing. Managing stress is important to staying
healthy. Studies have shown that people who engage in mind and body calming exercises like meditation or breathing exercises
have reduced blood pressure, heart rates, and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. They cope better with setbacks and report
greater feelings of overall satisfaction with their life. Taking a moment to relax is a great way to help with stress-management.
Whether your stress is spiraling out of control or if you have it tamed, you can benefit from learning and experiencing new ways
to relax. In this session we will discuss and demonstrate relaxation techniques and tools that are free or low cost, pose no risk and
can be done just about anywhere. Prepare to “Calm the Counselor” in less than 15 minutes. This session is best enjoyed in less
restrictive attire and we will be performing some simple relaxing techniques on the floor.

Standard 4, Promote Learning for all Students

Stop the talk! Dig in and just do it. Change your ASCA National Model from talk to action. Complete
actual documents to show the work of your school counseling program. Need a mission statement?
Not sure how to complete a results report? Leave this session with actual working documents you can
share with your building administrator and other stakeholders. Are you ahead of the game and just need
to prepare your RAMP application? Join the session and be ready to meet the next deadline. School
counseling teams are encouraged to attend.
Deirdra Williams has been a professional school counselor in Wake County Public Schools for over 14 years. She has been
able to advocate for school counseling and student achievement by actively using ASCA National Model documents to
show evidence of a data driven and student centered school counseling program. During her tenure in the district, she has
led two separate counseling teams to RAMP status, one receiving RAMP in just the school’s second year of existence. She
currently serves as an ASCA RAMP reviewer and has traveled the state teaching and encouraging school counselors to use
the ASCA National model to advocate for students and the profession.
Deirdra is a graduate of NC State University (French Language and Literature) and NC Central University, where she
received a Master of Arts in School Counseling.
Core Skill Building Workshop 2 - Appropriate Response to a Subpoena
Domain: Personal/Social / Room: Victoria B & C
Standard 5, Actively Reflect on Your Practice
NCDPI Literacy Area: Counseling Skills Literacy
Dr. Willie Fleming
Responding to a subpoena can be one of the most stressful experiences a school counselor will
encounter. Often times, school counselors don’t know their rights and will find themselves
overwhelmed and perplexed as they ask “How should I respond?” “What are my rights?” And equally
important, “How do I protect my student client’s privacy?” Although, school counselors concern
themselves with the responsibility of protecting student’s confidentiality, there is also the legal and
ethical responsibility that has to be considered. Using an experiential format, special emphasis will
be placed on the difference between a subpoena to surrender case notes and counselor records and a court order to
surrender case notes and records. Participants will spend some time creating efficient case notes and record keeping, that
honors the School Counselor’s student advocacy responsibility and ACA Code of Ethics as it pertains to responding to
subpoenas.
Dr. Willie Clarence Fleming, is a Full Professor of Mental Health Counseling, and coordinates the program at
the Statesville Campus, for Gardner-Webb University. He is NCDPI Certified School Counselor, a NC Licensed
Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Dr. Fleming is the namesake of the Fleming Endowed
Scholarship at Appalachian State University.

Core Skills Building
Workshops (continued)
Core Skill Building Workshop 3 - Critical Incident Debriefing: The Next Step in a Comprehensive
School Tragedy Plan
Domain: Personal/Social / Room: Grandover
Standard 1, Demonstrates Leadership, Advocacy and Collaboration
NCDPI Literacy Area: Counseling Skills Literacy
Dave Opalewski
Debriefing is NOT counseling. It is a group method that helps students and/or staff to process and
defuse their emotional reactions by means of educational, preventative and supportive process. It is
designed to prevent unnecessary complications that follow exposure to tragedies and accelerate healing
from the terror induced by traumatic incidents. This presentation will discuss the benefits of a trained
debriefing team, formation of debriefing teams, explore the mechanics of the debriefing process, and
specific incidents which may require debriefing.
Purpose of Debriefing
• To prevent the formation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• To identify issues and support needed
• To normalize
• To identify incidents that require the debriefing process
• To provide hope
• To provide the participants being debriefed to understand what happened, grieve, commemorate, and provide selfcare.
Dave has been in education since 1972 and is one of the leading grief recovery experts in the United States. He has taught
Suicide Prevention, Death Education and Grief classes for Delta College, Central Michigan University, Saginaw Valley
State University and all throughout the Michigan area. He actively participates in professional forums and is highly sought
as a speaker at state and national professional conferences. He has worked as an aftercare consultant for a funeral home to
help surviving victims, and has also led numerous crisis teams for schools in developing their crises response programs.
Core Skill Building Workshop 4 - School Counselor Internship Supervision
Domain: All / Room: Blue Ashe
Standard 1, Demonstrates Leadership, Advocacy and Collaboration
NCDPI Literacy Area: Counseling Skills and Program Literacy
Dr. Renee’ Evans
If you have been an internship supervisor, wants to supervise an intern, or considering internship
supervision, then, this is the session for you! Participants will gain an understanding about various
considerations when working with school counseling interns. Ways in which to begin the process,
evaluate interns throughout the process, and conclude the process will be discussed. Appropriate ways
to address areas of opportunity for improvement with interns and their university supervisors will also
be explored.
Dr. Renee’ Evans is a private practitioner, expert witness, consultant, and counselor educator in the areas of school, clinical,
and career counseling. She is also a returning radio expert guest on which she has an opportunity to discuss the role of the
school counselor as well as other issues impacting youth and their families.
