This has been a full week of workdays, getting ready for our kiddos to return for another successful school year. I have been working on preparing my room, making plans for my "meet the counselor" lessons, as well as preparing some surveys and other tools for gathering data. I have also been meeting with teams and collaborating with teachers, parents, and community agencies so that we are prepared to meet our students needs. Every year, I change things around. I'm such a perfectionist that I am never satisfied! I still plan on using technology to collect data, such as minute meetings and rating scales, but I'm always thinking of new ways to get the job done. I thought I would share some new pictures of my office (since i've rearranged and acquired some things).
Still a mess with donated school supplies
my new shelf for craft supplies and other materials I frequently use.
I am also excited to be switching back to a paper planner. There were things I liked about my google digital calendar, but I missed being able to jot down notes and other useful information, so here's the cute one I got at Target.
I am excited to grown even more this year than I have in my past 5 years at this school. Every year, I change things up and do things a little different. I am always trying to find better and more efficient ways to run my school counseling program. I am excited about opportunities for collaboration and professional development this year and I hope to keep you in the loop as I go along.
Happy 2013-2014 school year!
