Tier 1 Classroom Counseling
Classroom Counseling Curriculum Map
All students receive access and support through Tier 1 Classroom Counseling Lessons. Here are the lessons for this school year. As an elementary school, we are learning skills and attitudes to not only become great learners but see the best in ourselves and take on the challenges that come our way.
Lesson plans and topics are developed through ASCA's Mindsets and Behaviors. Topics can vary based on student need and teacher request. Check out ASCA's website for more information on classroom counseling learning objectives!
Tier 2 Small group Lessons
Here is an overview of groups that are available for students. Groups are determined by parent/guardian referral, teacher referral, and fastbridge scores. If your student has been selected to work on skills in group a passive permission slip will be sent home with details about the group content and how many sessions we will be meeting for. If you have any questions, concerns, or ways that I can help your student I am ready to collaborate!
Tier 3 Individual school counseling Sessions
Counseling goals are developed in collaboration with the student. School counselors provide short-term solution-focused counseling services. Sessions are typically 3-8 sessions in length. When nearing the end of sessions I will reevaluate the student's progress and see if we will fade off of services or need more intervention.
I meet with students to cover topics such as:
Emotional Regulation
Expressing feelings and coping
Friendship
Conflict resolution, friendship boundaries, self-esteem, sportsmanship, respecting differences
Decision Making
Choices and consequences, self-control, accepting responsibility
Social Skills
Conversations, social filters, reading social cues, perspective taking, empathy
Academic Skills
Organization, effort, use of time, mindset/perseverance, study skills
Home
Loss, divorce, changes at home
Transitions
Moving, middle school, new students
Crisis Interventions
Safety planning
