…*I will from time to time post And now for something completely different (ANFSCD) posts that may not be directly related to counseling, but have an application or I feel that may be of interest to those wanting to expand their understanding of technology. It may also just be a sweet resource you can use! http://goo.gl/HXzbd <– Link to how to access the deal (use coupon code LUVDAD2 at checkout). No word on when it expires (before fathers day?). T…
Two texts that can enlighten both your students and you! I am finishing up reading through So, You Are Going to College?! 2nd Edition by San Bolkan, PhD, professor of communication at CSU Long Beach, which is a very power-packed, but short book that will give any upper class high school student head start when getting ready to head off to college. The content is high-quality and written in a very entertaining way to capture even teenage readers’…
One of my favorite tools that I don’t have to think about! One of the nice things about starting a counseling program from scratch at a new school where there was little/nothing before you got there is that you have full input on what to bring in with you. It is one thing to change what has been going on for a long time, but when nothing has been happening – people are very open to trying new things. Among the first (FREE) things that I signed up…
Calling all PSC’s! That time has come, the first day of school has come and gone for me and for many of you. That means our principals (and maybe ourselves if we are on top of things) are calling for our yearly goals. I am curious of what you have set your goals to be this year? As I develop my own goals, I would love to read some of yours posted in the comments below or via email. I hope to enhance my idea of the plethora of different goals we h…
I learned something new about myself last week… I thought I would take a few minutes and self-reflect and share some thoughts with you that may help you at some point. Background: Last week we had a middle school student pass away unexpectedly in a pretty unclear circumstance. Details are still not released officially and we are not sure if they will be, but needless to say it was devastating to our two school sites. The MS and HS share a buildin…
…will pay more for it. The winery will then sell the excess off as another label or to another company to bottle it under their label (as TJ’s does). You may say that you actually LIKE the cheaper wine (if you’ve ever been to a blind wine tasting – you know how that usually goes), but from a marketing and branding perspective – if there are a few TJ’s selling a $50 label for $15 – it diminishes not only the demand, but makes you question why we ar…
…abel developer to integrate the background from my portfolio onto the disc label. I printed address labels with the title of the disc and my contact info to put on the jacket. I am pretty happy with the turn out. 3. Letters of Recommendation: I included the standard three letters in all of the packets so they could reference them if needed or see further evidence that supports my candidacy. 4. My Notepad: I always bring my schnazzy note pad to tak…
…the tool is how action oriented it is. You can create categories and then label them as “decision” “action” “info” etc. This lets people reviewing minutes later have a much more streamlined approach to find out what needs to happen. From that, you can also assign specific people to tasks and give them a deadline all within the same line. At the end of the meeting, if you have added all members names and email addresses to the meeting, all you nee…
