Counselor Chat Podcast

Team Up! Collaborating with Teachers from Day One


Listen Later

Let’s be honest—back-to-school season can feel like a whirlwind. But there’s one move that can make the whole year smoother: teaming up with teachers from the start.

In this episode of Counselor Chat, I'm walking you through simple and creative ways to build trust and connection with your teaching staff—without adding more stress to your plate.

You’ll learn:

  • Why visibility and approachability are your superpowers
  • What to include in a 1-page Counselor Cheat Sheet 📝
  • How to use small gestures (like hand sanitizer and chocolate 🍫) to open big doors
  • The power of asking, “What do your students need right now?”
  • Creative ways to co-create lessons and build classroom calm corners
  • Quick wins for consistent collaboration (hello, Coffee on a Cart ☕)

Whether you’re brand new or just ready for a fresh approach, this episode will leave you feeling equipped and encouraged to be the kind of teammate teachers rely on—and students benefit from most.
