Determining how best to respond to these targeted attacks in an ethical and professional manner can be a process in itself. The answer is not as clear as we might think. We are grateful to g ..read more

On behalf of my family, I wish to thank all those in the school counseling community who sent loving cards, notes, text messages and made calls supporting us, as we assisted my father, John Meyers, during the last months of his life.

We are so fortunate that, unlike many other families, we had the opportunity to say goodbye in person. We had the privilege of supporting his care through hospice, while also supporting our mother, as she managed both his death and her own health ch ..read more

The silent video below is an example how the Multi-Tiered, Multi-Domain System of Supports (MTMDSS) works within the school setting, and the description below can be used to talk through the MTMDSS framework within a comprehensive school counseling program. The students are getting off the school bus and coming to school, and they all receive Tier 1 instruction from the school counselor in the three ASCA domains of academic, college and career, and social-emotional.

With the onset of COVID-19, the world has never experienced a school shutdown on such a scale. Most predictions indicate we’re in it for the long haul – anywhere from the next 12-18 months – until greater testing and a vaccine are available.

By recession-proofing school counseling progr ..read more
