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.

Here are a few helpful links to get you started:

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!

Former Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School counselor pleads no contest to sexual assault of a student

Christopher bondioli pleaded no contest to child enticement and sexual assault of a student by school staff. two other felony charges were dismissed..

WISCONSIN RAPIDS − A former Lincoln High School counselor accused of having sexual contact with a student entered no contest pleas Tuesday morning to two felony charges.

Christopher Bondioli, 53, of Wisconsin Rapids, pleaded no contest to child enticement and sexual assault of a student by school staff. No contest means Bondioli is not saying he did it, but is saying he thinks there is enough evidence to convict him. As part of a plea agreement, additional charges of child enticement, sexual assault of a student by staff and conspiracy to commit obstructing an officer were dismissed but will be considered during sentencing.

According to the criminal complaint, Bondioli met with a 16-year-old girl twice during Lincoln High School's 2021 Christmas break. Bondioli had the girl come to a home belonging to a relative in Wisconsin Rapids that was empty. Bondioli inappropriately touched the girl during the visit, according to the complaint.

About a week after the first contact, Bondioli had the girl meet him in a parking lot, according to the complaint. He picked her up at the parking lot and took her to the same empty home where he inappropriately touched her again, according to the complaint.

The 16-year-old girl told a friend about what happened and later told Bondioli she had told the friend. Bondioli called the friend to his office at Lincoln High School, asked what the 16-year-old has said and told the friend he trusted her not to say anything to anyone, according to the complaint.

Bondioli admitted to the friend that he had kissed the 16-year-old girl, but he said nothing else happened, according to the complaint. The friend said she did not let Bondioli know the 16-year-old had talked about the inappropriate touching, according to the complaint.

The 16-year-old told a detective that she had feelings for Bondioli and wanted to have a sexual relationship with him, but nothing happened, according to the complaint. When the detective showed the girl messages on a phone they had gotten from her friend, she admitted she had been at the home with Bondioli.

The 16-year-old girl said Bondioli had contacted her shortly before the Wisconsin Rapids Public School District started its investigation and told her to delete everything on her phone as well as the backups to the phone, according to the complaint. He met with the 16-year-old girl and her friend at the same relative's home and told them to "forget about it" and "act like nothing happened," according to the complaint.

The Wisconsin Rapids Public School District was made aware of the allegations against Bondioli in late January 2022. The district immediately notified Wood County Human Services, who contacted police, according to the Wisconsin Rapids Police Department.

Bondioli was placed on administrative leave effective Jan. 25, 2022, and the Wisconsin Rapids School Board accepted his resignation Feb. 14, 2022.

Portage County Circuit Judge Louis Molepske Jr., who is acting as a substitute judge in the Wood County case, ordered a presentence investigation at Defense Attorney Kevin Musolf's request. Molepske scheduled the sentencing for Aug. 20. Bondioli faces a maximum of 18 years in prison and 13 years extended supervision.
