…em, how they can support the counseling department, brief overview of RAMP/ASCA/National Model, overview of previous accomplishments, and review of my time analysis from EZAnalyze TimeTracker. I created a sweet, easily decyphered infograpic via infogr.am – a free, easily customizable, infogram maker. It won’t let you go too nuts, but is great for presenting data in a new way. The Good: By establishing the CAT, I was able to get input that I would…

…s a blogger, answer along with many other writers. After heading home from ASCA 2013, I am connected to so many new people – I am going to be making more of an effort to participate and reflect on as many other blogs as I can possibly digest. My contract is based on the teacher’s pay and time scale, but I do have an extra 15 days on top of the normal requirement of teachers (paid of course, at my daily rate).

…Counseling Association (SCA) or the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). It is a shame that so many are not involved, or even are aware, of the State associations that exist to help the hardworking Professional School Counselors. I went from being a non-member of all the associations to an active member of most that I maintain membership in.
