You show so much dedication by taking care of that many students over multiple campuses. This is why advocacy for the profession is needed at the local, state, and national levels so that we can use the skills we've been trained with to really have an impact on student achievement. Otherwise all we do is end up putting out one fire only to immediately move on to the next.Darrell Sampson, MA, LPC, NCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997962625644401431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457782478591145115.post-41612388364538895582013-06-04T19:14:19.538-04:002013-06-04T19:14:19.538-04:00Thanks, Cindy!

Building resiliency is something school counselors are poised to help lead within schools and communities as we help kids learn how to draw upon internal and external strengths and protective factors as challenges pop up in their lives. All of us need to continue to strengthen our work with data in order to help advocate for our profession around the country, including in Philadelphia.Darrell Sampson, MA, LPC, NCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997962625644401431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457782478591145115.post-49459338878288212402013-06-04T09:48:51.786-04:002013-06-04T09:48:51.786-04:00Resiliency is vital.

Life can be harsh, but it is how we react to situations that makes the difference!<br /><br />I've cover 3 buildings 1,500+ students (and emergency stand-by for a preschool/Young-5's building another, 150 students) and I can speak from experience that one counselor is definitely<br />not enough.<br /><br />It takes me 3 weeks to get a full 5-day work week in. Parents (and some teachers) don't understand that if I see a student "weekly" it would work out to be once every third week. Every other week turns into every 5-6 weeks.<br /><br />How can counselors be effective with that type of scheduling???<br /><br />Thanks for your post,<br />HeatherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765002938649480941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457782478591145115.post-84046050661540715152013-06-02T21:21:55.498-04:002013-06-02T21:21:55.498-04:00Great article Darrell!

So sad that Philly is cutting school counselors...I will hate to hear about all the negative outcomes that will emerge from this unfortunate decision.<br /><br />CindyForHighSchoolCounselorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554243516140296730noreply@blogger.com
