1. Beliefs Affect Behavior

I found that counselors' and educators' actions, choices, and relationships with others are influenced by their ideas, even if they are unconscious.

Impact: In order to prevent accidentally repeating biases or misunderstandings with children and families, I must constantly think about my own subconscious assumptions as a future counselor.

2. Observation Training

According to Dan Lortie's theory, teachers often center their teaching on their own learning experiences.

Impact: I now understand that how I counsel can be subconsciously influenced by what I have done as a student. I need to question existing ideas and pick strategies that best fit multiple student needs.

3. The importance of relating to different Views

Teachers' ways to teaching and learning are usually shaped by their view of knowledge—whether it is fixed or they are working on it.
Impact: As a counselor, I will try to have a more cooperative, strong counseling relationships that will support students' voices and experiences.

4. Students Need Connection

As mentioned in the research (e.g., Pianta, Ryan & Deci), for students to be successful, they must feel competent, connected, and independent.

Impact: This supports my goal of building trusting, respectful connections with students in order give them a safe environment where they feel heard and encouraged throughout therapy sessions.

5. Views of Students May Be False

Because actions could be signs of anger at rejection, teachers sometimes mistake them as disruptive (e.g., Blackburn, Irvine).

Impact: In my role as a counselor, I have taken into account student behavior with cultural awareness and stopped defining behaviors that can have a background in trauma or rejection.

6. Even though not easy to change, beliefs need to be looked at

Since beliefs are very closely linked to identity, they are difficult to change, but unquestioned beliefs can be harmful to students.

Impact: I commit to be a reflective professional who is prepared to think about, challenge, and modify my ideas, especially if they run opposed to the wellbeing of students or generally accepted standards.

7. The Reality of Self-Fulfilling Warnings

Rosenthal's study shows how teachers' expectations of their children can impact their real performance through small actions.
Impact: I will set high, supportive standards for every student in my counseling job and be aware of the subconscious ideas I give, especially to students from communities that are underrepresented.

Instead of seeing a student’s struggles as negative, I’ll explore what might be causing them and use those moments to help the student grow.
