Counselor Connection
Collaboration is essential for school counselors. This mini-blog is for my counselor colleagues to share ideas, lessons and inspiration
Check out this video from the Hip Hop Preacher, Eric Thomas! He explains to student the"Formula To Success" in a way that our students can relate to! Jason Martinez, counselor at Estrella Mountain Community College introduced this video to my 8th graders during our recent visit to their camp. The kids liked this because Mr. Thomas speaks their language! He's not saying anything different than our teachers, but its the impressive way he "sends" the message that captures the attention of middle school students. I also used this video while teaching Habit 7 of Sean Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens to my 6th graders. "As leaders of the new school we have to be the example. We cannot be satisfied with just getting by. We must be comfortable with being uncomfortable. The sooner you take the word "QUIT" out of your vocabulary, the sooner you will reach success!" ~Eric Thomas
