…hours minimum on running your exams for you. David – when you came to the ASCA Leadership Development Institute a few years back – it was painful to watch and listen to. You said things you thought we would want to hear – but it was all shameless self-promotion. I cannot wait until colleges and high schools get brave enough to start bucking the system of standardized exams and the fluff that comes with it. We are starting to see more of it – but…

…2016 was a challenging, fun and overall – great year for me. I had to miss ASCA 2016, but had my son Joel which is a good excuse!

Plus I am still having fun (and finding time) to blog about once or twice a month. I love getting to learn with everyone. I always like to look back at the end of…

…ve a tool like Naviance. With Naviance, I simply have it prepare and print labels for any school that a student applied to in the last 10 years. It spits out just under 200 different schools from down the road to France and lets me put them on mailing labels really easily. Now if you don’t have Naviance, like I didn’t the first year I did this, I actually sent out the letter via email. I scoured websites and created lists of admissions and outreac…

…to the The Counseling Geek. At the beginning of the school year, following ASCA 2015, I made a personal goal to run some groups this year.

I chose the time frame of four weeks because it fits within our progress rep…
