How in the world can a student demonstrate every executive functioning skill you practice in a counseling group perfectly... and still fail their classes because they don’t turn anything in? Happens all the time. Because knowing how to do something is not the same as actually being able to do it when it counts. In this episode, we’re looking at why planners, checklists, and executive functioning small groups don’t always translate into better functioning in the classroom, and what we need to ...
“Executive function” has become one of those phrases we use ALL THE TIME in schools. Kid’s disorganized = Executive function. Missing assignments = Executive function. Can’t get started = Executive function. Impulsive = Executive function. ADHD... Well, obviously, executive function... right? Maybe. But what the heck are we actually SAYING when we say a kid “struggles with executive functioning?” Because- as it turns out, that answer is a whole lot more complicated than the cute little execut...
Whodunit? It's time to open the case file, y'all. We’ve got a student who keeps leaving class, a behavior plan that is NOT working, and a school counselor whose fingerprints are all over it. So... who’s actually responsible for the mayhem? Because when campuses start talking about behavior plans, the details get complicated fast: Should the school counselor be involved? Are you actually qualified to write the plan? And if you do write it, does that make you responsible for whether or not it w...
When a student is struggling, school counselors often hear, “Can you talk to them?” But in determining if a student needs counseling, we tend to skip some very important steps. In this episode, I'm talking about a common jump everyone on campus tends to make (and nobody ever questions)- and why it's such a big deal. You’ll hear why context matters more than the referral itself, how easily schools move from observation to interpretation to prescription, and the one question that can keep...
It doesn’t work. And if you’ve tried it, you know it's true. The school counseling advocacy model most of us were taught was supposed to be simple: explain your role, show your data, cite the standards, make the case. THEN we were supposed to be able to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. The problem is- information isn’t influence. So in this episode, we’ll talk about how school counselors can become influential long before "advocacy" meetings ever happen. We’ll talk about why your principal does NOT need t...
School counselor advocacy is supposed to create change. But what if some of what we’ve been taught to call advocacy is actually doing something else? You can explain your role, bring the data, cite the standards, and make a compelling case... And still walk out with the same testing assignment, MTSS responsibility, impossible caseload, or non-counseling duties you walked in with. This episode takes a hard look at the advocacy model our profession has inherited, why school counselors can do ev...
You’ve explained your role. You’ve shown the data. You’ve pulled out the appropriate and inappropriate duties list. You’ve advocated. But... nothing changes. So- what are you supposed to do now? Just advocate harder? (Spoiler: Nope.) In this episode, I’m questioning one of the biggest assumptions driving school counselor advocacy. Because there’s a big difference between someone not understanding what your job is supposed to be, versus someone understandi...
Everything difficult or weird on a school campus somehow gets shuffled to the school counselor. And nobody is likely to stop you from taking it all on. In fact, sometimes the whole campus seems perfectly happy to let you do ALL the things. So before the school year really gets rolling, there are four decisions worth making. These aren’t decisions you can make with a list of “appropriate” and “inappropriate” duties or another lecture about setting better boundaries. They require a bette...
