Driven by its mission of social justice, the LSEHD has a strong commitment to urban and Catholic education.

Applicants should possess counseling and/or administrative experience in the field of PK‑12 education, as well as a strong understanding of Massachusetts counseling standards, planning, assessment, and meeting diverse student needs. A commitment to teaching, advising, and mentoring counselling candidates is required and previous experience as University Program Supervisor and/or mentor is preferred. Consistent with the mission of Boston College, we seek a commitment to incorporating social justice and diversity issues in the training of counselling education professionals.

• Participate in a virtual orientation for University Program Supervisors;
• Maintain a flexible schedule that allows for supervision during the PK‑12 academic day and collaboration after‑school to allow for the facilitation of state‑required documentation for endorsement from the University for licensure in Massachusetts; and
• Attend to other responsibilities as needed to ensure counseling candidates’ success.
