Check out the lesson S.M.A.R.T GOALS on Blendspace

We've covered our Back to School Topics and we are now settling in to September where we focus our attention toward Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. We begin talking about Goal setting and establishing our goals in our Leadership Notebooks. If you haven't heard about Leadership Notebooks, you will want to keep checking my blog. I'll have all kinds of resources, and ideas for you in the coming weeks. In essence, a Leadership notebook is a way that our students (Grades K-5) track their academic and behavioral progress. My job as the School Counselor, is to help them establish goals and be able to understand why we set goals, and how important it is to track them frequently. When Parent Teacher Conferences come around, we no longer hold the tradition type conference. These conferences are all Student Led. I know that sounds crazy, but it's fabulous! I'll be posting more about Student Led Conferences soon as well.
Meanwhile, here is lesson that I put together using resources I found through Teachers Pay Teachers, and some things I pulled off Youtube. In this lesson, I also provide a tempalte for the studnets to write their goals for their behavior, and spelling. (This is all I have time for in this session, so I'll add to it later).

Ga Ga over Google!

I knew that Google was amazing, but this year, I am learning even more amazing things that Google can do, and how to incorporate into my Counseling Program. For starters, I have upgraded my School Counselor Request form and learned how to make it two or three forms in one. I plan on doing a screencastify tutorial very soon! This has been a game changer. Now, students, teachers, and parents need only find one link in order to communicate their needs to me. Next on my Google adventures is how I've been able to use Google Sites to develop Leadership Notebooks for all students in Grades 3-5. Students are loving being able to add their data into this digital notebook, and I am certain this will be big selling point for parents when Student Led Conferences begin next month. I helped all the students set up their site in Guidance this week, and they have each shared them with me. This is allowing me to see right away how they are doing in their ...
