Educational training and consulting

Hello! My name is Casey Casteel, I am the director of CC-ETC. 

I received my bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis in Psychology and Education. I have a master's degree in professional counseling and am currently completing my LPC (Licensed professional counselor),  and RPT ( Registered play therapist) credentials.  I am also working on my CEP ( Certified educational planner) certificate. Additionally, I have acquired over 300 hours in continuing education in various subjects in just the last three years. In addition to educating others, I love to learn! 

I have over 20 years experience working with children, families, and schools. I have worked as a teacher in public, private and charter schools for Preschool-Middle school age students in the classroom, Arts enrichment and Motor skills. My teaching experience also includes work  in specialized schools, one with students with social and emotional difficulties, and another with students with learning differences. For nearly a decade, I was the owner, director and instructor of a successful educational enrichment business that provided camps, classes, workshops and professional development in nearly  60 Houston area schools and organizations.  Most recently, I served as a school counselor at a private school with an International community of students from over 50 countries.  Currently, I am utilizing my unique skill set to help  families find the "best fit " school for their child; and providing onsite and online teacher and parent education. In Fall 2018, I  created the " Parents guide to Houston area preschools" that included information submitted from nearly 100 Houston area schools.
