One of my biggest strengths (and weaknesses) is that I’m outspoken. There’s not much in the realm of school counseling that I don’t have a strong opinion about.

A blog about school counseling
Just a quick post to share a school counseling documentation form I created to accompany a referral packet to the special education department. It's the week after conferences and spring break, so I'm a bit short on time. There is more I would like to share about documentation and how that plays into organizing and running an elementary counseling program with 1,700+ students and just little ol'me. (Okay, I'm not that little...but I'm getting off the subject.) For the sake of time management, I leave you with a free download of my counseling services documentation form for now. I will

One of the things I've gotten fairly established at this point is my first session of individual counseling with students. Here's 4 of my go to activities.
Last year, I found a great idea for introducing myself to my students. It worked so well that I decided to do it again this year! The original idea came from Wanda P., a school counselor on the ASCAScene web forum. (If you aren't a member of ASCA, I recommend it just for the discussion forum alone. It's been a lifesaver at times.) I use Mrs. Potato Head to introduce the various parts of my job as Elementary School Counselor. I bring her in a bag to each class and have the kids help me put her back together again. As I take out each part, we talk about how that part helps me do my job. I created a handout that outlines what we go over in class and serves as a coloring page that students can give their parents to let them know who I am and what I do, too! Click here to download a copy of the Mrs. Potato Head handout and lesson plan. NEW!!! Click here to download a copy of Mr. Potato Head handout and lesson plan. The kids love Mrs. Potato Head and I leave her up all year in my office to remind the students what we talked about in class. It's a great way to start the new school year!
