Counselor Connection
Collaboration is essential for school counselors. This mini-blog is for my counselor colleagues to share ideas, lessons and inspiration
Looking for guidance lesson ideas? I found the websites below by following a few links after starting on my favorite site - Pinterest! The lesson plans vary by topic and grade level but seem to be something that could be helpful to most elementary/middle school counselors. Just click on the picture below to be taken to the site.

Career Cafe' at Sunset Ridge Sunset Ridge students are "Career and College Ready"! One of the ways we ensure this is by proving our students with opportunities to learn about a variety of careers. Thanks to my wonderful intern, Stephanie K. , this year, our 5th and 6th graders were invited to take part in Career Cafe'. The idea behind Career Cafe' came from a school counseling blog I subscribe to by Danielle Schultz. In September 5th and 6th graders took an online Career Interest Inventory. Based on those results, Stephanie then found community speakers to come in and share their career experiences with selected students each week during recess and lunch. Students were invited based their results from the interest inventory. Stephanie had each student complete a pre and post test to help us evaluate the effectiveness of the program. (results will be shared upon completion of the program). Speakers were also asked to fill out an evaluation for to determine how well the experience went for them. Below are a few pictures of our guest speakers. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me! So far this year we have had the following speakers: Enedina Garcia- Musician Sharman Hickman- Hickman Farms Tony Trujillo and Danita Carpenter- School District Chef Uvi & Arthur- Smartstyle Jasmine Sanchez- SNACK Program from First Things First Nicole McCready- Camelwest Animal Hospital |
