When we use technology, we do so to improve and enhance our lessons, programs, or processes…not duplicate or completely replace (in most cases). Luckily for those of us who cannot code a new piece of software – someone has taken on that burden and helped educato…

If you missed Chapter 1 – just click here to check out the tips from the first installation of this series to frame the content of this post. 3 out of 4 Americans fear public speaking (some more than spiders, heights, and even fear of death) and I know many school counselors share that fear.

…tive As we move into April, I figured it is about time to update a popular series of posts that I called The Road to Naviance. My district started down this road about three years ago (two of those in implementation) with initial grant funding, a lot of planning, and a gradual roll-out. It has been quite the journey through the years so far, but the journey continues. You can view posts from the series by clicking one of the buttons below: The Roa…
…oldman of PHSfit asked for a male version of Andrea Burston’s Wear to Work series – well Jeremy…here ya go.

…ben’s blog School Counselor Space and get in on the fun. It is basically a series of questions that you, as 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…

Part one was just published and paper copies are on their way to you as we speak, but the electronic version is now out (linked below).

This is an update to a series of posts I wrote almost a year ago about my Road to Naviance which are linked to here if you would like to read it for some context.
