119. Smart Ways to Split a Counseling Caseload


Listen Later

Are you navigating a new caseload structure this year? Wondering how to divide the work with a co-counselor without splitting the heart of your program? In this episode, I'm sharing practical strategies and real-life examples of caseload division that works—plus the bumps to avoid.

You’ll learn:

  • 📚 The most common caseload split models (Alphabet, Grade-Level, MTSS, and more)
  • 🧠 The benefits—and drawbacks—of each
  • 🤝 Pro tips for dividing responsibilities beyond the caseload
  • 🔄 Why it’s okay to try, tweak, and test different models

Whether you’re brand new to a team or refining what’s already in place, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible with collaboration, creativity, and a plan.

Encouragement from the episode:

“At the end of the day, there really is no perfect way to split a caseload. The goal isn’t just fairness—it’s functionality and support. What matters most is that students know who to go to, staff knows how to get help, and counselors support each other.”
