March is going to be a whirlwind of exciting opportunities! First, I am so excited to share that I will be presenting at the Kentucky School Counseling Association Conference March 5-7. I will be doing a pre-conference workshop about how to implement the Leader In Me into the Guidance Curriculum. I will be sharing lesson plan ideas, curriculum alignment with the LIM and much more. In addition, my school W.R McNeill Elementary, will be serving as a host school at this year's Leader In Me Symposium on March 4. We are excited to share our school's success and showcase our student's leadership abilities. As if these great Honors weren't enough, our Lighthouse Team will be presenting at the Symposium as well. March 5, we will be providing a break out session titled: How to integrate the LIM seamlessly into your school. It truly has been so seamless, that we just want to be able to share this awesome initiative with everyone! If you haven't registered for the Symposium, you can do so at http://www.theleaderinme.org/events/symposium

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 ...
