KNOW THYSELF • Importance of knowing self in order to change • Importance of knowing our self as school counselor • Self as counselor also shaped by site, students, community…..
DESCRIBE YOUR SCHOOL Working as individual sites, describe your school & students using these 3 prompts to guide you: CHALLENGES | What are some of the most pertinent challenges facing your site and/or your students? STRENGTHS | What are some of the strengths your staff, students, community, etc., possess that support your site? VISUAL | Create a symbol or metaphor representing these 2 items
Why Use ASCA Tools? Reactionary Doesn’t Work Only YOU can prevent random acts of counseling. Something is Better Than Nothing The COMP MPREH REHEN ENSI SIVE VE approach is the best we got in terms of preventative, developmental, sustainable, systems-oriented. Not perfect. Not 1-size fits all But the best program out there.
How to Use ASCA Tools? Even the best tool in the world is useless if not appropriate for the context of the job. Using comprehensive school counseling tools with INTENTION and AWARENESS to better serve students and improve my professional practice.
Which ASCA Tools? American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model Program Foundation Components Mission Statement Annual Calendar

Annual Calendar A tale of two programs…..
Annual Calendar MEANINGFUL & USEFUL NOT SO MUCH…. • Succinct • Verbose • Big-Picture Perspective • Minutiae • • • •
Annual Calendar Again reviewing your site description, consider some items for an Annual Calendar for your School Counseling program. 1. LOGISTICS | What are activities or services that are essential; regular; or important and need to be hard-scheduled? 2. ADVOCACY | What might be activities or services within my program that need stakeholder awareness?
ASCA Tools Annual Calendar A tool to GUIDE & INFORM myself and stakeholders about program activities
GOALS PROCRASTINATION KRYPTONITE | Blending a“Big - Picture” destination with “way - point” small steps. Always has a place to jump back into the mix and keeps me on-track. KEY TO LOOKING BUSY | A running record of accountability. Not only where I’m GOING NG , but where I’m CURREN ENTL TLY Y AT as well as where I ST STARTED ED to demonstrate my intention & awareness.
MAP 26
GOALS 1. What factors contribute to success/failure of goals? 2. Does goal success fall on the goal or the person? 3. What if goals don’t seem meaningful or relevant? 4. What type of goals seem most difficult? 5. When goals are forced, what might happen? 6. What do most goals seem to neglect?
GOALS Review your site description poster one final time. Mission Statement | How you make success happen Annual Calendar | When & What make success happen Create 3 goals you believe are important/relevant for your site in the here & now.
