Another school shooting prompts our discussion of the role school counselors play in threat assessments.

Every teacher, counselor & educator we know is struggling with burnout this year. What causes it, and how can we overcome it to continue being there for our students?

We speak about the unique needs of our AA boys, and the mentorship we would like to see for them.

This week we continue discussing our ongoing challenges in education & school counseling through covid. But we also look ahead to what we might see return or improve upon coming out of a pandemic.

Surviving through a pandemic is taking a severe toll on everyone's mental health. In this episode we dive into what extremes we're experiencing & offer some advice to help us all.

Dealing with the monster that is a building master schedule, what our role & impact can be through scheduling, and did we mention we're in year 3 of counseling through a pandemic?

We discuss the importance of teaching students to take responsibility for themselves, how their locus of control affects their actions and even future, and what we can do about it.

We come no-holds-barred with our advice for parents/guardians. Sometimes our students need tough love, but this week the tough love is for the folks raising them. Your job isn't easy, and these are real ways to better your child's school experience (even when it's hard)

We recommend some school counseling PD that can earn you CEUs, grad credit, and are way more relevant than your usual PD day offerings

We talk about where to focus the last couple months of school, how to handle moving to a new position or district, and give you permission to take all the vacation time you can.
