About Our PROFESSIONAL Learning
At Hatching Results, we know that the work of designing a school counseling program requires an intensive commitment of time and talent and can vary from location to location. Typically, full implementation of a school counseling program aligned with the use of data, evidence-based practices, and the ASCA National Model takes a minimum of three years. Our Three Year Comprehensive Professional Learning package is our most requested plan. By the fourth year, our goal is to establish a professional learning community and “Trainer of Trainers” model to ensure sustainability and to increase readiness for district sustainable leadership. Some of our districts have applied for and received the American School Counselor Association’s RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program) recognition.
Based on your districts needs, goals, timeline, current implementation status level, and other factors, Dr. Hatch and her expert team will collaborate to provide the personalized services your district needs and to define a professional learning schedule grounded in co-constructed measurable objectives.

PROFESSIONAL Learning Options
3 Year Comprehensive District-wide Professional Learning
We offer a series of 5-8 sessions of professional learning per year, typically provided to a district as part of a three-year approach to systemic transformational change and districtwide implementation of data-driven, comprehensive programs. Customized to meet site and district needs, trainings can be in-person, virtual, or hybrid. These packages may also include school site visits, coaching, needs assessments, program evaluation, a comprehensive district School Counseling Program Handbook, support for policy revisions, board presentations, artifact review, etc.
Onsite Professional Learning
We provide professional learning on specialized areas of focus to support specific needs of elementary, middle and/or secondary school counselors or to address the school counselor’s role in a multi-tiered system of supports framework. Topics may include college and career readiness, solution-focused counseling, social emotional learning, and the use of data in school counseling.
Virtual Training Services
Our high-quality, engaging professional learning, consultation, and executive coaching services are also offered from a distance via various online platforms as part of a comprehensive service plan or stand alone. This includes virtual keynote speaking and a library of webinars and online learning modules to support learning and continue to advance comprehensive program development.
Regional Cohort Academy
We provide professional learning series (typically 6-8 days per year) regionally to support multiple districts within a region or county. This is provided across multiple days in one or more years in accordance with other deliverables typically included in comprehensive plans for transformational change, such as consultation and development of a School Counseling Program Handbook.
Online Learning
Based on The Use of Data in School Counseling 2e: Hatching Results (And So Much More) for Students, Programs, and the Profession (2021), online courses contain instruction from co-authors Trish Hatch, Ph.D., and Julie Hartline, Ed.D, with supplemental readings, activities, and quizzes to test knowledge and deepen the level of understanding and utilization of data to get desired students outcomes. Courses are offered in two formats: self-paced independent study and facilitated by a trained instructor. This also includes webinar training. University extended learning credits and CEU’s may be available at additional cost.
Grant Writing and Evaluation
Dr. Hatch has successfully authored and evaluated over $16 million in federal and state grants for school counseling programs. Her professional learning and evaluation services have led to sustainability when grant funds ended. For more information on grant writing and evaluation at the elementary level specifically, review this case study article here.
Conference Speaking Engagements
Our conference speaking services include a public address to establish the main underlying tone and theme of a conference or other public event. This can be provided in conjunction with breakout workshop sessions, pre-conference general sessions, panel participation, and/or a book signing.
Equity-Centered Professional Learning
This professional learning series is designed as an inside-out approach for educators. Participants first reflect on themselves and how they came to be. They explore their values, bias, privilege, and how are they “showing up” as an educator. The professional learning then shifts to reshaping practice, structure, and systems to put into motion a program action plan dedicated to a better understanding of the perspective and how to meet the needs of students from diverse populations.
Districtwide School Counseling Program Model Audit
A variety of services and assessments offered to examine the organizational, institutional, and political challenges along with the current beliefs and behaviors of school counselors and administrators in order to plan strategically and establish systems.
Consultation and Coaching
We are available to school counselor leaders and administrators. We offer professional expertise, technical assistance, and recommendations to support site and district leaders as they seek to improve efficiency in systems and practices, implement sustainable comprehensive school counseling programs, and strengthen leadership capacity.
RAMP Coaching and Tools
We offer a variety of packages to support schools through the RAMP application process that include various supports such as monthly virtual coaching, review of the final application prior to submission, in-person coaching, and the option of utilizing numerous technology support tools created are exclusively offered by Hatching Results. Plans are generally developed to provide 16 months of support for schools or 6-month ‘fast track’ options are available.
