Professional Development for Counselors by Ena Rasmussen https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6 Made with no regrets, whatsoever en-us 2019-03-10 23:51:32 UTC 2019-04-26 19:57:13 UTC hello@padlet.com Under the "Individual Student Planning" tab there are some good websites and PDFs that could be shared with students and parents. https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340575394 2019-03-12 18:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340575394 There is a counselor evaluation tool that looks pretty simple and straight forward. https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340578188 2019-03-12 18:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340578188 ASCA Mindset and Behaviors: Positive attitude toward work and learning. Use time-management, organizational and study skills Effecitve coping skills Demonstrate self-control https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340579695 2019-03-12 18:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340579695 Intervention Planner It appeared to have a lot of helpful information and would take some additional time to learn how to effectively utilize. There are videos, behavior interventions, as well as academic interventions. https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580231 2019-03-12 18:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580231 One area I see students struggle in is applying self-motivation and self-direction to their learning. I also notice a lot of students not taking advantage of time management, organizational, and study skills. Maybe a professional development activity could be around what basic academic skills and strategies that students are lacking and need to learn. https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580495 2019-03-12 18:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580495 Mindset and Behavior Program Planning Tool https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580810 The mindsets and behaviors I see mostly is almost all listed under "Self-Management Skills" (i.e. taking responsibility, demonstrating self-control, working independently, demonstrating effective coping skills when faced with a problem, etc.) and almost all of the "Social Skills" (building positive relationships, showing empathy, showing social maturity and appropriate behaviors for the situation, etc.)

I think what would be beneficial PD is effective strategies for working with each of these situations (i.e. social skill curriculum familiarization, or introduction to new, how to motivate unmotivated students,  how to teach kids responsibility, etc.)]]> 2019-03-12 18:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340580810 The list of counselor competencies could be used in rewriting our job description. It's too long to actually BE the job description, but we could take points from it. https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340583008 2019-03-12 18:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340583008 https://padlet.com/ena_rasmussen/nigy2k43pro6/wish/340583648 good parent resource section.
