Presenting Your School Counseling Program

in Uncategorized on 08/26/18

Happy Back-to-School Season! I don’t know about you, but the Back-to-School wave is crashing all around me as I write this post!  It started hitting me in early August and it hasn’t stopped yet. But… the overwhelming Back-to-School season is also one of the most exciting times of the school year. After all, it is when we get to meet all our students and families and find out just what they need from us! So, for this post, I have lots of tips and tricks on one of the most crucial Back-to-School counselor tasks: presenting your school counseling program through sharing and implementing all the amazing ways you support students!

Presenting Your school Counseling Program

Did you know that most staff members do not know all that we do during the work day? And they need to know- so they can support and encourage our crucial work with students! It is through educating staff about your program that they learn what we do and how we help kids! It is important to teach everyone about our appropriate role based on the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) model . Of course we know that our school counseling duties are based on the four components of a comprehensive school counseling program- guidance curriculum, responsive services, individual planning, and system support; and we know that our program is also based on standards in academic, career and social/emotional development,  However, your staff, students, and community members also need an abridged, engaging, and user-friendly version of this same program information!

Presenting your school counseling program to staff

For staff, I present my counseling program, combined with all the ways I support them, at the beginning of the school year. Here is a link to an editable version of my presentation if you’d like to save time and download it to use at your school.

In case you want to completely start from scratch and design your own presentation, here are the topics I cover in a beginning-of-year staff presentation:

• My role in the school (per the ASCA Model and the Texas Model since I work in Texas). Sometimes, I also reference The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning .
• How I support students and also teachers in their work with students
• Suicide prevention information
• Procedures for reporting child abuse
• Our district and campus protocol for student crises
• Procedures for how staff and students can utilize my services

Presenting your school counseling program TO STUDENTS

I actually do this every week in my guidance lessons to students. I start off all guidance lessons with a reminder to students of how I can support them through request forms (for non-emergencies) and when they have an emergency. Here is a link to my “3 Hurts” posterette which I use as I teach students what constitutes an actual emergency.  Then, as we get into the guidance lesson topic, such as study skills or stress management, I remind them that this is one of the program areas that I can help them with. Here is a link to my Meet the Counselor lesson which includes all these elements that I teach students.  I also present my role to students every week in the cafeteria when I sit at my Counselor Corner table while they eat lunch; this gives them the opportunity to come up and get to know how I can support them better!

Presenting your school counseling program TO PARENTS/COMMUNITY

Educating parents and community members about the appropriate duties of an effective school counseling program should also be a big part of our job in the beginning of the school year. I do this mainly through my campus school counselor website and a monthly newsletter that I send out to parents which always includes information about my program. If you would like to see an example of my newsletter, click on this link and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the September 2017 Newsletter; we don’t yet have our September 2018 newsletter published at the time of this posting.

Additionally, I present to parents at school events whenever I can- this includes Meet the Teacher, Back to School night, etc. My parent presentations are usually just 10-20 minutes at the beginning of the schoolwide event. I try to time my presentation slot right after the principal speaks because this is when all the parents are in one place as a captive audience. I cover much of the same information that I mentioned in my staff presentation above. Here is a link to an editable parent presentation that I’ve created if you’d like to download it.

Public Speaking Tips for School Counselors: Tools for Totally Awesome School Counselor Presentations - Chapter 2

Fiery school counselor presentations: from blah to blazing, this post is designed to accompany a presentation from asca 2015 in phoenix presented by paul smith, stephanie smith and i. click the button below to head to the post containing the slides., aesthetics are important – don’t deliver ugly presentations., finding the right images, free resource #1, “visual imagery is a powerful mnemonic tool that helps learning and increases retention compared to, say, witnessing someone read words off a screen..

Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (2nd Edition)

“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.”

Founder and CEO , Apple

Break out of the PowerPoint Box.

Throughout the last decade – Microsoft PowerPoint has cornered the market on the presentation game. PowerPoint is a great tool and has lots of features to use. However, there is a new sheriff in town when I need to make a slideshow. I found that I needed a presentation tool that allowed me to easily create, access, edit and share presentations from multiple computers. I wanted to not have to worry about needing to download any YouTube video I wanted to show. I needed to be able to embed a copy of my presentations on my website or in an email to colleagues. Some of these actions, while possible in many cases, takes many steps and occasionally some advanced understanding of coding or design-work to actually make happen with PowerPoint.

The New Solution: Google Slides

Nearly all my presentations now are designed solely on Google Slides. Even if I use a PowerPoint file – I still upload those files to my Google Drive and make any edits via Slides. There are a few reasons that I have ditched PowerPoint.

1 – It is free and many districts are ditching Microsoft. My district has “gone Google” and it is a direction that a lot of districts or schools are headed. With the many tools available and at a much lower cost than licensing the same number of Microsoft licenses.

2 – Slides is accessible from any internet-connected device. Just like with Google Drive – Google Slides is only a login away from any where you may be in the world with an internet connection. What is nice about this is you are not tied to your device. You also don’t have to worry about formatting issues from not saving the correct files to take with you. You can leave your flash drive at home.

3 – Native YouTube embedding is simple and easy. Have you ever wanted to embed a video in a PowerPoint presentation? Ya – me too. It sucks. You have to pray that it works and download the video if it doesn’t work. With Slides – you just search for the video you want and it links directly to YouTube within the slide.

4 – You can embed, download and share the presentation with ease. Does someone still require a file in a .ppt format? You can still download the file in that format. You can download the presentation as a PDF, PNG and share the presentation with collaborators or your audience just like other Google Drive. Finally you can embed a fully functioning copy of your presentation on any website you have access to post on.

“Were these slides the visual support for a live oral presentation? If so, I sympathized with the audience. Since when can an audience read and listen to someone talk at the same time (even if they could actually see the 12-point text on the screen well enough to read it)? Were the slides used merely as a kind of document printed in PowerPoint? If so, I pitied both the author and the reader because PowerPoint is not a tool for document creation. Boxes of bullet points and logos do not make for a good handout or report.

Kiss: keep it simple stupid – keys for quality presentation design.

When you are in the actual design process of your presentation, I consistently think back to presentations that I have sat in as an audience member – both good and bad. If you look back – I am sure you can think about horrible and awesome presentations. Use these as inspiration. When I go to hear people speak – I come primed to get two pieces of information. First is the content of their presentation. Second is the delivery, design and strategies of the speaker.

A few major points to keep in mind when starting:

1 – Don’t stick to the pre-formatted templates. You can add a blank slide and different images and textboxes where ever you want. Just like with a resume – templates are all easily recognizable and boring. Jazz it up with your own layout.

2 – Limit the information on the slide to 2 – 3 key points. In presentation design – less is more. Your presentation is not meant to be a handout with every piece of information you want to give your audience (make another handout for that!). The worst presentation you can give is one where your audience can read everything you plan on saying. Limit the info on each slide to keywords, powerful images and 3 total points. Fill in the remainder of the information with your words.

3 – Pick colors like you would for your house or a car. You wouldn’t pick a black wall paint with lime green or pink accents for you living room right? Why would you do that for your presentation? Typically – a light background with darker text is going to be the easiest to read and design. When selecting a background – a texture or non-busy image is the best way to go.

4 – Fonts matter. Please do NOT use script fonts in a presentation —- ever. That said – readability is key. Both in font selection and size of the information on the slide. Depending on the room, audience members may be way in the back and reading really tiny text is frustrating. Think about your audience when designing your presentation.

Where else to look for inspiration:

There is a plethora of examples and tips available for presentation design out there on the web. Simply search for “Presentation Design Tips” or “Presentation Design Essentials”. You can also check out the image search for colors, layout, etc to use as inspiration.

Embedding a Presentation

Embedding a google slides presentation on a website is pretty simple. the only main pre-reqs are having access to the back end of the site or access to the person that does. (i have found a coffee or treat every now and again with it staff works wonders and i am always the first person to have things fixed)., when you are ready to embed your presentation – simply go to the “file” menu at the top of the screen (not your browser file menu – the google drive/slides file menu) and select “publish to the web”. a pop up will appear with an option to link, which is great for sharing with audience members, and there is another tab to embed. select embed and then setup your options correctly. you can select the size of the embed (sticking with medium is typically safe) as well as whether it should auto-advance slides. i always select no for this option. hit publish and then you will see a box with the embed code in it. you don’t need to change any of it but you do need to copy it and paste it to the html (or source) entry method on the page you want it to appear on. save that page and wa-la. it should appear and any edits you make on the slides after publishing it will be live., *freebie tip – this is the same method you can use with adding youtube pages to a website – you just need to grab the appropriate embed code from the share menu underneath a youtube video., “if you need to put eight-point or ten-point fonts up there, it’s because you do not know your material. if you start reading your material because you do not know your material, the audience is very quickly going to think that you are a bozo. they are going to say to themselves ‘this bozo is reading his slides. i can read faster than this bozo can speak. i will just read ahead.”, friends don’t let friends give lame presentations..

Only you can prevent sucky school counselor presentations. By taking these tips and sharing them with your friends and colleagues – you can save your audience from an hour or more of boredom, texting and lack of retention. I hope you take some time to look around the inter-webs at all the other great tips for developing great presentations and soon – educators won’t have to sit through boring presentations any longer. Thanks for reading!

Ways to Introduce the School Counselor’s Role to Students and Staff

by  Confident Counselors

Read Time:  min |   Class Lessons , Teachers , Your Program

We asked Stephanie of School Counselor Stephanie and Brandy of The Counseling Teacher to share how they introduce the school counselor's role each year. Stephanie discusses how she communicates with students at the beginning of the year. Brandy shares how she explains her program to faculty and staff during the back to school season. Share your approach in the comments below.

Introduce the School Counselor's Role to Students

There is so much to do at the beginning of the school year! This is definitely the time of year to prioritize school counseling tasks since there are only so many hours in the day. One of your top priorities as a school counselor during Back to School season is to introduce yourself and introduce the school counselor's role to students.

There are three main ways to do this.

Introduce Yourself

First, give a brief introduction of yourself to students during the opening week of school, preferably on day one or two. This is important because some of them will need you before they know you! You can do this by taking just 5-10 minutes to talk to the entire grade level during lunchtime or even hit all the classes in a quick rotation first thing in the morning.

At my school, my admin team talks to all grade levels the first week to set consistent behavior and academic expectations for the entire campus. My co-counselor and I join in this talk, giving us an easy way to speak to the entire student body. During your brief introduction, address three points:

• Your name, physical office or classroom location, and grade level or alpha assignment
• A sentence or two about how you support students
• How students should get to you if they have an emergency (i.e., someone threatens them) versus a non-emergency (i.e., schedule change request).

First Guidance Lesson

Second, plan your first guidance lesson to teach students exactly what your role is in the school and how you can support them. This may come in the form of a Meet the Counselor interactive activity if you work with littles, or a Meet the Counselor PowerPoint in the computer lab with a Kahoot follow-up if you work with the older kids.

I create a Meet the Counselor Booklet that I give to each student as a part of my Meet the Counselor September guidance lesson. We discuss each part of the booklet together in the lesson. You can check out this Meet the Counselor guidance lesson with the accompanying booklet here .

I briefly explain the four aspects of school counseling (guidance curriculum, responsive services, individual planning, and system support) in terms or with activities that they can understand. Then, I explain how I support them in each aspect. During this lesson, I also give them a needs assessment to see what topics they want me to cover in their guidance lessons throughout the year.

I explain to them that one of my roles is to help them discover ways to learn more about whatever they are most interested in. Here is a link to my website resources page where you can download this student needs assessment .

Third, spend some time in the cafeteria during lunches in the first month of school. At my school, we run a “Counselor Corner” all year long where each counselor takes a day of the week to sit through all three lunch shifts. This gives students a great opportunity to informally come up and chat with us about whatever is on their mind.

Doing these activities to introduce the school counselor's role to students will pay off in spades when they have a problem and they know exactly how to get help from you!

Introduce the school counselor's role to staff.

Teachers are so focused on getting their rooms ready for the school year that I find it difficult to keep their attention at the very beginning of the year. Therefore, we do a quick intro at the first faculty meeting and leave the formal introduction for later. We send them with a FAQ sheet and student referral forms. After teachers have had a few weeks to settle in, we will do a detailed  powerpoint presentation explaining our role to staff in more detail.

What is the School Counselor's Role?

The answer to this question can vary quite a bit depending on your school, your district, or state. It's important to be sure that administrators and teachers know your specific role as defined by the American School Counseling Association from the very beginning, so that you do not find yourself becoming the disciplinarian, substitute teacher, or hallway monitor.

Because our role with students is to be their advocate and to develop an authentic, trusting relationship with them, we don't want to jeopardize that by being seen as the disciplinarian. The teachers and admin are supposed to be the first line of defense in discipline. Counselors are more like the grandparents of the school.

We are there to nurture, protect, help modify behavior, and give treats when needed. We try very hard at the beginning of the year to make it clear that students are never "in trouble" if they get called to the counselors' office. We are there to solve problems and help students become the best version of themselves. We want all visitors to our office to feel unconditional acceptance. This becomes critical when students need an adult in the school that they know they can trust if they are self harming or having negative thought processes.

We give out referral forms to all staff with a list of reasons that are appropriate for sending a student to the counseling office. Not that they always remember to use it, but we try. This form acts as a guide and a reminder of the reasons why a student may need to see us. It also has a reminder that we are not the first course of action for discipline.

You can come up with any process for your school, but we prefer a form that teachers fill out ahead of time. If they forget and come charging into the office with a student, we will usually talk to the student if we are able and put the form in the teacher's box later as a reminder. The form is then filed away in the student's counseling file.

We also remind teachers that in our state, we are allowed to see students only one time without parent permission, so it is critical that we follow procedure. In my last school, we sent home a parent permission form to every student at the beginning of the school year. At my current school, we only send the form home after an initial referral from a teacher, peer, or the student. Check with your state for specific laws.

Research Based Program

Getting support for your program can be just as easy as 1, 2... data.  The numbers will tell the story. Turn your program goals and statistics into colorful graphs and tables to show your school leaders and staff why you do what you do. While I'm not opposed to covering a classroom when needed, we all know that it's not the best use of our time. Once stakeholders realize that our methodology makes a real impact on student personal and academic growth, you will find that others begin to value your time more and more.

Let us know how you introduce your program to students and staff!

What Is School Counseling? 14 Roles & Goals of Counselors

From trauma and learning disabilities to bullying and course selection, life can be difficult for students. A school counselor is there to help.

The basic role of a school counselor is to support students in their psychological, academic, and social development (Heled & Davidovitch, 2020; Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

However, the breadth of school counseling is expansive. One minute, the school counselor may provide a social-emotional lesson to a first-grade class, and the next, they collaborate with the administrative team on a new school-wide behavioral intervention system.

Let’s look at this diverse role and what the ultimate aim is for all school counselors.

Before you continue, we thought you might like to download our three Positive Psychology Exercises for free . These science-based exercises will explore fundamental aspects of positive psychology including strengths, values, and self-compassion, and will give you the tools to enhance the wellbeing of your clients, students, or employees.

School counseling addresses issues that may affect students’ academic performance, which includes psychosocial and behavioral challenges (Gachenia & Mwenje, 2020). School counseling services are delivered by the school counselor.

A school counselor’s role addresses students’ mental, emotional, social, and academic development (Heled & Davidovitch, 2020; Popov & Spasenovic, 2020). Schools systems in different parts of the world have varying titles for school counselors (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020):

• Australia – student or education counselor
• Bulgaria – pedagogical counselor
• Denmark – pedagogical-psychological counselor
• Russia – pedagogue-psychologist
• Croatia, North Macedonia, and Serbia – expert associate
• Malta, Slovenia, UK, USA – school counselor
• Ireland – guidance counselor

For more information on this important role in the United States, please refer to the American Counseling Association’s The Role of the School Counselor .

A 2020 study by Popov and Spasenovic showed that although the title or role of the school counselor differs somewhat, the key elements of school counseling can be summarized as:

• Supporting the psychological, academic, and social development of students
• Resolving conflicts between all actors in school life
• Helping students face personal problems
• Consulting with students, parents, teachers, and principals
• Coordinating various school activities.

These are just a few roles this multifunctional position may fill. It is important to note that the dominant functions of school counseling may also vary across countries. Let’s explore a few of these in depth.

Counselors help students identify their abilities, capacities, and interests, preventing dropout (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

The counselor may also act as a coordinator who advises students about their career orientation and decisions. In doing so, counselors may help students prepare for higher education and college admissions (Karunanayake, Chandrapala, & Vimukthi, 2020).

In Australia and Ireland, the role of the school counselor relies heavily on academic and career guidance and counseling (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

There can be many tricky situations within the school setting, and the counselor may act as an advocate who guides and negotiates by diplomatic means.

For example, a student may feel that they are being treated unfairly by their teacher. The counselor may also act as a mediator between students who have just had a physical altercation. Prevention is the focus for school counselors in Russia (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020), and a school counselor may be able to prevent unfavorable situations with pre-teaching social skills lessons and counseling.

Social skills teacher

In teaching social skills, a counselor can act as a researcher, specialist, expert, leader, and consultant (Karunanayake et al., 2020; Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

The counselor must first seek a research-based social skills curriculum suited for their school demographic, deliver the content, and assist the general education teachers in utilizing the curriculum.

Sometimes all a student needs is a friend, and the school counselor can be there for the student in a professional capacity. With this professional friendship comes confidentiality and privacy.

Like a friend, the counselor may act as a mentor, supporter, advisor, listener, and believer.

Supporting students in their personal development and learning is the main role for school counselors in Denmark, Ireland, and the UK (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

Disciplinarian

In some schools, the counselor may be the frontline point person for students who misbehave. When a teacher sends a student out of the classroom, the student may be required to see the school counselor to address their behavior. The counselor may then decide on the next course of action or consult the administrators.

Counselors may also have to address attendance issues by communicating with students or parents (Karunanayake et al., 2020).

Psychologist

In many cases, the school counselor may act as a school psychologist while delivering counseling sessions. School counselors may sometimes have to address student trauma or remedy situations involving bullying.

In the United Kingdom, mental healthcare is also a big focus (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

School counselors may also be found in the classroom. They may assist the classroom teacher, provide consultation, or deliver lessons about social skills or emotional learning.

Just as the classroom teacher prepares lessons, the school counselor must also create and deliver engaging lessons while having good classroom management skills. Formatively assessing students’ knowledge during and after the lesson helps counselors to adjust the teaching or future content.

Collaborating with school staff and supporting the school organization and the teaching/learning process are also roles of the school counselor. The counselor must create and deliver a robust research-based school counseling program using data and student needs (Dimmitt & Zyromski, 2020).

Improving the overall functioning of the school, teaching, and school work is the main focus for school counseling in Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia (Popov & Spasenovic, 2020).

The roles of the school counselor and school psychologist are similar in that they aim to provide all students with meaningful access to the school curriculum. The biggest differences between these two professions could be the preparation/education and licensing.

Although both roles may differ between countries, states, or school districts, here are a few of the common similarities and differences.

A school psychologist is tasked with the responsibility of helping students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. This differs from the role of a school counselor in terms of their daily tasks and scope of support.

Regarding interventions, as an example, a school counselor may be responsible for the implementation of interventions, while the school psychologist’s duty includes administering, scoring, and interpreting psychoeducational assessments that help students qualify for specific services such as special education.

A school counselor is not licensed to perform such activities. In the United States, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act mandates that a school psychologist is required as an individualized education program (IEP) team member to interpret the instructional implications of evaluation results.

Watkins, Crosby, and Pearson (2001) found that many psychologists would prefer to administer fewer assessments and instead conduct more activities that mirror the school counselor’s role. Indeed, in addition to psychometrics, many school psychologists work with students and the school in the areas of positive behavior or conflict-resolution and bullying (National Association of School Psychologists, n.d.).

As much as a school psychologist may wish to spend more time directly with students, the school counselor will likely be providing individual, small group, class, and counseling sessions to students. In such instances, students are more likely to be referred to school psychologists only when in-depth mental health interventions are required (Wake Forest University, n.d.).

Both school psychologists and counselors may provide training to teachers to help them meet students’ diverse needs and engage with families, helping to connect them to community service providers or other crisis prevention and intervention services.

The graph below is by no means an exhaustive list, but demonstrates some of the differences and similarities between school counselors and school psychologists.

• Fulfill lives School counselors help students live more fulfilling lives by addressing problematic issues (Gachenia & Mwenje, 2020). An example of a problematic issue may be a learning disability.

In collaboration with the general education teacher, the school counselor may be able to suggest strategies, implement interventions, or start the special education referral process.

• Assist students with challenges Students face a plethora of challenges. If a student has an issue with a particular teacher, the school counselor may speak with the teacher or act as a mediator to remedy the situation.
• Adjustment School counseling programs aim to help students attain self-awareness and adjust emotionally, socially, and psychologically (Gachenia & Mwenje, 2020).

A school counselor may create a “buddy” program that pairs a returning student with a new student to make them feel welcome. Additionally, a school counselor may prepare a student for a post-high school job, technical school, or college.

• Promote a positive school life According to a study conducted by Gachenia and Mwenje (2020), 87% of the students who participated in counseling sessions felt more positive about their school life.

A counselor is there to help students through difficult situations both in and outside school.

• Generating or supporting school-wide interventions In most schools, school counselors are tasked with the responsibility to support, if not entirely create, a school-wide intervention program. Constant evaluation must also accompany this systematic change to determine if the interventions are being implemented and if they are effective (Dimmitt & Zyromski, 2020).
• Mental health and social-emotional learning School counseling addresses mental health via school-wide lessons, social-emotional learning or individual counseling sessions. Counselors may address these needs through class, group, or individual lessons and counseling sessions (Dimmitt & Zyromski, 2020).

In sum, by addressing these goals, a school counseling program aims to improve students’ academic performance and social skills (Gachenia & Mwenje, 2020).

As a school counselor, it is important to be aware of legal and ethical ramifications of your actions (Herlihy, Gray, & McCollum, 2002).

For example, imagine a student confides that they thinking about hurting themselves. They urge you to promise not to tell anyone. While you want to practice confidentiality, ethical guidelines steer you in a different direction. Here are a few important points:

• Counseling relationship First, it is essential that the school counselor avoid harm at all costs. The counselor must know their own values and beliefs and ensure that they do not result in bias (American Counseling Association, 2014). Furthermore, it is the counselor’s duty to be mindful of cultural differences that may affect the counseling relationship.
• Confidentiality It is crucial that a school counselor can create a rapport with students and earn their trust. A counselor must respect the privacy of the students and provide a safe space to divulge sensitive information; however, it is also important to follow local laws.

Duty of care must be taken into consideration, and the counselor will need to notify the appropriate authority if a student is being harmed or plans to do harm (American Counseling Association, 2014; McGinnis & Jenkins, 2006).

• Maintaining boundaries As with many relationships within the school setting, it is crucial to maintain boundaries .

A counselor must not enter a nonprofessional relationship with a student or former student (American Counseling Association, 2014). Boundary Issues in Counseling: Multiple Roles and Responsibilities by Herlihy and Corey (2014) is an extremely good book to explore many ethical situations and solutions.

What our readers think.

Your description of what a school psychologist does is terribly narrow. For example, many school psychologists provide direct counseling services but by putting this article out there you are perpetuating misinformation which ultimately results in confusion and students not getting the services they need.

Hi Dr. Timmons,

Thank you for your feedback — it’s helpful as we’re really committed to providing the most accurate information we can here. We’ve now revised our description about the school psychologist’s responsibilities and included more references to support this.
