First Things First--Scheduling your Time Using a Leadership Tool

Our kiddos are really struggling this year with Time Management! I have done this lesson for several years, but today, I decided to add a Leadership Tool from the Leader in Me, and it's made all the difference. What I did was I provided the students a list of activities to do and they had to put them into the Time Matrix.

School Counselor Brochure

After 8 years as a School Counselor I finally did it! I made a brochure for my parents! My hope is that parents will be able to see my roles in the school and utilize me in the best way possible. I want them to see me as resource, and not just a "Guidance Teacher." Hopefully you will find it helpful as you develop one for your parents.
