Counselor Connection
Collaboration is essential for school counselors. This mini-blog is for my counselor colleagues to share ideas, lessons and inspiration
I have had a few counselors from a Facebook Group I subscribe to (Caught in the Middle School Counselors) ask me to share the bullying power point that I did recently with 8th graders. It is attached at the bottom of this post. A slightly different version of this presentation was presented to my staff earlier this year. It is all based on the book No Room For Bullies. The counselors in my district did a book study then developed a Professional Development presentation for our staff based on this book. If you do plan to use this power point, be sure to preview the videos in advance and make note of comments in the "notes" section at the bottom. The first video may not be appropriate for your audience. I came across the book, One, by Kathryn Otoshi and absolutely love it! I'm reading it to every grade this month as I roll out our new school Bullying Reporting Forms (also attached at the bottom). I'm also bringing out my crafty side and painting posters to hang around campus to remind my students that it only take ONE person to make a difference. I'll post pictures of those when they are finished. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the power point! Now go tackle some bullying behaviors!!

This Boost Attendance site has a great little tracker that shows students and parents the academic consequences of missing school. Families put in the number of days the student has missed and it shows the % Likelihood of graduating, the students math and reading percentiles. This is a nice tool for helping students understand how attendance can affect their current academics and their futures! |
