So thorough!! Thank you so much. I’m a high school counselor and would love to move my school further into ASCA compliance. Soooo much of our time is spent in individual sessions and I want to be able to do more school-wide programming!
Do you find that most of your individual sessions are for academics/ post secondary or social emotional?🤔
@@counselingwithmrb I’m a senior counselor (inherit the juniors halfway through) and we’re a college prep school so all the juniors get an individual college meeting in the spring and then again as seniors in the fall. They tend to be pretty long meetings (45 mins each). And then we have the walk-ins coming in for socio-emotional support.
Mr. B is thee best! Thanks so much for all you do! (Truancy Counselor-Lake County, Illinois)
Thank you!😊
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am graduating from my counseling program in a month, and the reality of being a school counselor is setting in and it is a little scary! Everything you explained is so clear and you make it entertaining as well :)
Thank you! You’ll learn so much on the job. Let me know if you have questions.
This is sooo incredibly helpful! I just finished my fieldwork and am applying for jobs currently while also freaking myself out about how am I ever going to start! This has definitely helped center me! Thank you!!
How’s it going so far? 😊
@@counselingwithmrb It has been a wild ride since this is my first year! I just rewatched your video and it still continues to inspire me! Watching this again really helped remind me of all of the different avenues I can take to help students! Thank you for all of your videos!!!
I quit counseling during the pandemic because of the lack of school counseling i was doing and the vague instruction received in school to create an actual program. I felt super lost and confused being the only counselor with no input from others, i came in mid year, on top of doing duties not related to my role. The pandemic felt like an out for me to leave and explore something else. I did and learned a lot. I will to give counseling another try so i thank you for these videos as i figure it out.
I hope you give it another try and check out my videos to help you get started. Let me know if you have questions 😊
I really appreciate your videos. Currently applying for an MS School Counseling program. Seeing a male POC doing the thing and being great inspires me and pushes me to do the same on a professional level. I’ve always wanted a “career” that gave me stability (i’m also an artist.. i’m sure you know how it goes with trying to make a living from the arts..) but i’ve always loved inspiring and motivating others, especially young people. School counseling just feels right. Thanks for the inspiration.
That’s awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!☺️
Hi.... I'm watching the replay. I'm from Liberia, West Africa.

Thank you for this! I am a new counselor and this is very helpful
I’m glad I was able to help!
Thank you so much for this video! I am finishing up grad school right now - and I am preparing for my internship in January!
That’s awesome! My new video this week will be on tips for a successful internship! Hope you check it out.
Thank you for posting another resourceful video! Your videos were so instrumental for me this past school year, which was also my first year of middle school counseling. It was full of trials and errors, but I'm looking forward to getting some rest and hitting it harder next school year. You mentioned about counselors doing other duties that are not necessarily counselor-related. I would love for you to attack this topic. PLEASE!!! 🙏🏽 I felt that I didn't have a choice but to be the middle school 504 coordinator. This became something that took so much of my time away from students and addressing their needs. I literally had to work during the evenings and weekends focusing on this. Close to the end of the school year, some staff actually had the nerves to complain as if I am SUPPOSED to do this duty. I have since decided that I have that choice so I am opting out of being the Middle School 504 Coordinator because of the number of students on my caseload, the time it took from my workday and personal mental health time, and complaints. My contract has officially ended; however, I still found myself completing 504 duties. I am sure there are others like me, so will you please make a video addressing this issue and how we can advocate for ourselves? Thank you!
Oh! Also, I am a singleton. My school is a K8 school where we have an elementary counselor and a middle school counselor. I have @ 350 students in middle school. I had @ thirty-five 504 students on my caseload, so basically 10% of the population. 😫 504 requires a lot (annual review and failure conferences, notices, paperwork to parents and teachers) all while only receiving a very small stipend for the school year. That is why I felt so alone with the issues I faced, but God, a couple of mentors, and your videos helped me through this school year. Again, thank you!
Definitely! I’m glad you made it through your first year!☺️ and yes I’ll make a video on extra duties ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
This was so helpful, thank you! I am a graduate student who will be graduating in December and this helped answer a lot of uncertainty.
I’m so glad it helped you! Let me know if you have any questions 😊
Thank you. Replay!
Hi there! Let me know if you have questions!👋🏾
I'm not a counselor, I'm in Curriculum and Academics and collaborating with the AP for Counseling to bring the two departments together to implement comprehensive counseling INTO our teachers' practices in lesson delivery and assessment. Do you have videos or more info on Needs Assessment. Also, I would love to get more info on the lesson planning that you create for classes/teachers. We are 9-12. Thanks for this video!
I’ll make a video on needs assessments soon! Thank you for watching.
I'm a 6-8th grade counselor (a little over 300 students each year on my caseload) and I definitely have some questions...
First, when you talk about creating "Behavior Plans", what do you mean by this? Were these formal documents? I've been told I can't make "Behavior Plans" because when I use the word "Behavior" it requires a certain level of documentation or something, more similar to an IEP or 504... I had never heard that before getting my job at this school, but I tried to suggest BIPs last year for some students and was told no, even when I offered to make them.
Next, how to you keep teachers accountable, especially when you are giving them lessons and expecting them to teach them? Do you have a system in place to track if the teachers gave the lessons? What happens if a teacher doesn't give the lesson? This has been an issue I've run into a few times, even though I feel like I have pretty good rapport with most of the Middle School teachers...
Lastly (for now), when did you do your Career Day? Our school has traditionally done career day in May, but it's just so darn busy and our 8th graders have to apply to Choice Programs by the end of January, so it doesn't really make sense to me to do it so late in the year. Also, was yours a full-day event or just part of the day? Getting buy-in to do anything more than an hour long is somewhat difficult. Really, I feel like I'm pushing it if something passes 30 minutes...
sorry for the delayed response. I just saw this. I mean behavior goals...more like goal setting. We review expectations and create a plan of success. it is not formal. I then meet with teachers to see if they're willing to commit to the plan of monitoring student progress.
We've always done career day in May but recently we shifted it to November and it works.
do you have any soft copy example for this for free? Can I use it for reference?
Hi! What specific resource are you looking for?
I am a new school counselor so could you help me on the counseling techniques i can use on high school students
