521 & 522
Learning THE model
Take a minute and think of what the word "model" means.
exemplary
copy
imitation
perfect (sure!)
representative
prototypical
flawless (HA!)
521 & 522
As school counselors we should all know the model, be able to create a model, in reality you might not be able to follow the model exactly. In 521/522 you are creating an "EXEMPLAR" program, and in the end you will have a "PROTOTYPE" that we strive to achieve.

The Puzzle

Accountability
My Experiance
Elementary and High School work differently
Developing my own program
Where should I start?
Identify what is feasible.
How will I be evaluated?
What are the district exceptions?
What are the schools expectations?
What are my expectations?
Who are the people I work with the closest?
Where to Begin?
Counselor's Part
One thing...
Gather Info
School Goals
Achievment
I am in year 4 and it's finally coming together...
Foundation
Establish program focus!
- Year 1- Focus 8th grade, SEL research/plans and creating a behavior system with our Dean
- Created the counseling Mission and Vision- It's still the same, 4 years later
Foundation
Year 4- Focus 8th grade High School Applications, Behavior, Career investigation for 6th, 7th and 8th.
Take time to get to know your school. What works for one doesn't work for another.

Delivery:
My contact with students
The "planned contact" with students is to ensure you are working on your foundation. My contact with students has changed from year to year.
I do not track my time. Some of my collegues at other schools have tracked but not consistantly. You have to discuss what works for you and your administration.
Delivery
Indirect:
- Mondays/Wednesdays tend to stay open
- Data review
- Program review
- Update/Create program calendar
- Other duties
- Collaboration with teachers/ staff
- Professional developments
- Student observation
- Trauma research and trainings
- Teacher coaching- New this year
INDIRECT
Direct
Core Curriculum
- 1:1 students identified by behavior system crisis, teacher referral, self referral
- Classroom lessons- I send out an email monthly and offer to come in and teach a lesson around the "focus of the month"- 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th usually take me up on this.
- Weekly lessons meeting all 3 domains for all 6th, 7th and 8th graders
- CICO- Check in/Check out intervention
- (honest moment...) I've done one needs assessment in 3 years and didn't feel the data was useful and I am terrible at getting groups going! (area of growth)
DIRECT
This is when you want to address the mindsets and behaviors
Responsive
It's very hard not to live in this space for direct service.
RESPONSIVE
- Suicidal and homicidal ideations
- Behavior melt downs (Chased and restrained kids- don't restrain unless you are certified)
- DCFS issues
- Neighborhood/family crisis- Death of a student, student house fires, family members shot, student shot etc
- Social issues between students
- Parent/student issues
Other Duties
- Testing Coordinator- NWEA and PARCC
- Nurse, ESL, middle school guru, kinder behavior interventionist, investigator,
Other
Duties
Managment
- Annual Agreement
- Evidence Implementation Plan
- Behavior incidnets- decreasing?
- NWEA Scores
- Attendance/On Track
- Naviance Data- Student goals, future planning assessments
- 6 to 16 Data- Student High School readiness and academic goals
- Calendar updates
- I recently TRIED to create a 7th and 8th grade core curriculum combining all of the resources and expectations I have from AUSL and the district.
Conclusion
Accountablity
- CPS "Reach" evaluation
- Review my EBIP to determine the overall success of the current years program- note: unsuccessful outcomes does not mean you didn't create a comprehensive program
- Flashlight Presentation
- I do not have program accountability outside of myself
What’s next
Keep working on investment from others in a urgent school environment, in addition to creating a Advisory Counsel.
Next year (if I have one):
Trauma informed school will be on my EBIP!
What’s next
My program is not RAMP ready.
What I wish I had known...
What I wish I had known...
- Evaluating a program is really hard.
- You are your can be your worst enemy
- You are your only advocate
- Self care is not just talk
- Believe, you will lose a student at some point
- If you take credit for students success you have to take credit for their failures
Thank you
Thank you
