    248. How to track data in counseling small groups and individual sessions
    May 13 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified!

    This May, we’re diving into a new series all about data—simple, practical ways to collect and use it as the school year wraps up or as you begin planning for the year ahead.

    Last week, we focused on Tier 1 services and how to collect data in your classroom lessons. This week, we’re shifting our attention to small groups and individual sessions. I’m walking you through my favorite ways to track meaningful data in these settings so that you can make informed, data-driven decisions and feel confident sharing progress with administrators and families.

    Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

    • Self-assessments: Aligning pre- and post-assessments with your lesson objectives to measure student growth.

    • Student rating scales: A 1–10 scale with visual aids to encourage honest reflection and spark meaningful conversations.

    • Behavior surveys: Collecting insights from teachers and guardians to build a fuller picture of student progress and needs.

    You’ll also hear tips for:

    • Using paper vs. digital forms (and when each is most effective)

    • Promoting confidentiality in group settings

    • Ensuring your assessments are relevant to what you’ve actually taught

    These strategies are easy to implement and will help you gather impactful data while keeping things simple.

  • 245. Why you should use picture books in school counseling with Laura Filtness

    245. Why you should use picture books in school counseling with Laura Filtness
    Apr 22 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Throughout April, we’re featuring guest sessions with experts in the field, and today’s episode is especially exciting. I’m joined by Laura Filtness, M.Ed., a seasoned school counselor with over 15 years of experience and a passion for using picture books to support young minds in elementary settings. Laura’s belief in the power of storytelling shines through her work, and she’s also the author of the upcoming book My Brain Is Like a Puppy, inspired by her beloved therapy dog, Boss. In addition to counseling, Laura teaches yoga and Pilates, assists clients in home organization through Help You Dwell, and enjoys tackling renovation projects at home. She currently lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, with her two dogs, Brooklyn and Bindu. In this episode, Laura shares why picture books are such an effective tool in school counseling, both for proactive lesson planning and reactive student support. She talks about how a sticky note with a book title and a few theme ideas often serves as her simple yet flexible lesson plan. Having two or three potential discussion directions in mind allows her to pivot based on how students respond. This approach gives students space to take ownership of the conversation while making lessons feel natural and engaging. Laura also opens up about the organization system in her counseling office. For years, she used topic-based book bins and included printed companion resources stored in large Ziploc bags. After relocating to a smaller portable office, she adapted by placing hardcover books on a bookshelf and keeping thinner paperbacks in bins. Her adaptable system ensures that everything is accessible and categorized by topic for ease of use during lessons. We also dive into the logistics and philosophy behind running book clubs. While Laura prefers not to hold small groups during lunch, she makes exceptions depending on the group’s purpose. For example, a community-building group might work well during a “lunch bunch,” but more skills-based work is best saved for a designated small group time. Laura uses both chapter books and picture books and recommends series like those by Jory John, Todd Parr, Brenda Miles, Michael Ian Black, and the Way Past series. She shares that Scholastic is a great source for ordering multiple copies of books and encourages creativity, like using different titles in a picture book series. Laura also supports teachers through book clubs at the grade level. She often gifts teachers with books, especially ones she finds at thrift stores, and partners with the school librarian to display themed books during staff meetings. Her collaborative approach promotes a school-wide culture of literacy and social-emotional learning. When it comes to building your book collection, Laura suggests tapping into your librarian’s expertise by submitting a wishlist at the beginning of the year. She encourages the use of public libraries, which often allow you to request specific books. Other great sources include thrift stores, your counselor network, and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which offers families one free book per month for a year. While YouTube read-alouds are a decent backup, she stresses that nothing beats reading a book aloud in person. To keep track of her extensive book collection, Laura uses a cataloging system in Airtable. Inspired by Laura Driscoll, she created a searchable database of over 700 books organized by grade, topic, and type. This makes lesson planning more efficient and ensures she’s covering a wide range of student needs. You can find links to her Airtable in the show notes! For new counselors who are just beginning to integrate books into their lessons, Laura offers encouraging advice: don’t overthink it—just bring a book into your lesson and start asking questions. Prompt students with things like, “Have you ever felt this way?” or “What do you think the character learned?” Let students guide the discussion and make personal connections. If you’ve inherited a library, take inventory so you can assess which topics are covered and where you may need to grow your collection. Toward the end of the episode, Laura shares her journey of becoming a published author. She discusses the publishing process and the inspiration behind her new book My Brain Is Like a Puppy, a heartfelt project born from her experiences with her late therapy dog. She offers insight into what it’s like to submit to literary agencies and the steps it takes to bring a story to life. Picture books, she notes, are typically around 600 words and should be thoughtful, concise, and meaningful. This episode is full of practical takeaways and encouragement for counselors looking to bring more creativity and connection into their lessons through books. Laura’s insights make it clear that picture books aren’t just for young children—they’re powerful tools for every age. ...

  • 244. Advice for new school counselors with Ashley Bell

    244. Advice for new school counselors with Ashley Bell
    Apr 15 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Throughout the month of April, I’m bringing you guest sessions with experts in the field, and today I’m excited to introduce Ashley Bell. Ashley is a dedicated school counselor with nearly ten years of experience, a curriculum writer, and the creative force behind Mrs. Bell The Crafty Counselor. She specializes in social-emotional learning and emotional regulation, creating engaging resources for educators, counselors, and parents that support children’s mental and emotional well-being. Through speaking engagements, webinars, workshops, and digital resources, Ashley’s mission is to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and the adults who support them. In this episode, Ashley shares practical advice specifically for new school counselors. She emphasizes the importance of observation in the early weeks of the school year. Rather than jumping in to make immediate changes, Ashley encourages new counselors to listen and learn about the school culture during the first month of school. Visiting classrooms and observing during lunch or recess can provide valuable insight into student behavior, peer dynamics, and overall school climate. These observations help counselors better understand classroom management styles, student needs, and areas of support. After the initial observation period, Ashley recommends meeting with your principal to discuss expectations and clarify how your role can best support the school. She reassures new counselors that progress doesn’t have to happen all at once—even implementing one classroom lesson within the first nine weeks is a great start. From there, counselors can begin developing a consistent schedule and consider launching small groups based on identified needs. She also suggests avoiding scheduling groups or lessons on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, as these times can often be less effective. Another helpful strategy Ashley recommends is conducting a staff needs assessment before pushing one out to students. Staff members are often the most aware of behavioral trends and classroom needs, making them a great starting point for gathering data. This can guide counselors in planning relevant and effective services. She also mentions that doing a mid-year needs assessment can be useful once the school year has settled into a routine. When it comes to collaborating with parents and teachers, Ashley reminds us to be patient. It’s common for others to expect counselors to have all the answers, but it’s okay to set boundaries and be honest about what is and isn’t within your role. Simply listening and offering a supportive presence can be incredibly impactful. For lesson planning, Ashley recommends building lessons around a character trait of the month. Thinking about the year in smaller chunks can make planning more manageable and allow for deeper focus. Rather than trying to do everything at once, she encourages counselors to prioritize high-quality, intentional lessons that reflect the needs of their students. Growth and confidence will come with experience. One simple yet powerful tool Ashley uses with students is a quick check-in strategy. She asks students to hold up a one if they need a few minutes to breathe or a two if they’re ready to return to class. This nonverbal system gives anxious or overwhelmed students a way to communicate their needs without speaking, which can make a big difference in helping them feel safe and supported. This episode is full of practical, encouraging advice for new and seasoned counselors alike. Ashley’s insight provides a grounded and thoughtful approach to starting the school year strong and building meaningful, lasting support for students and staff.

  • 243. Data strategies every counselor needs with Patti Hoelzle

    243. Data strategies every counselor needs with Patti Hoelzle
    Apr 8 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! All April long, I’m sitting down with amazing guest experts to bring you insight, encouragement, and practical tools for your school counseling practice. Today’s guest is the incredible Patti Hoelzle from Rooted Well, and we’re talking all about something many counselors shy away from… data. But don’t worry—Patti breaks it down in a way that’s simple, empowering, and exciting! Patti Hoelzle is the owner of Rooted WELL and a National Board Certified School Counselor with a passion for building proactive, equitable systems of student support. She trains and consults on mindfulness in schools, trauma-informed practices, tiered interventions, and PBIS, working with educators and families nationwide. A sought-after speaker, Patti has presented at local and national conferences and teaches as an adjunct professor in a school counseling graduate program. Previously, she led social-emotional learning and MTSS efforts in a school district and has spent 18 years dedicated to being a professional school counselor. Recognized as Washington’s 2021 School Counselor Advocate of the Year, Patti is dedicated to ensuring every student gets the whole-child support they deserve. Why Data Matters in School Counseling School counselors are in a unique position—we have to do the job, prove our impact, and often justify our position for the following school year. The good news? Data can do all three. Using data allows you to: Advocate for your role and time Communicate impact to stakeholders, families, and administration Support budget decisions and staffing Build confidence in your work Time Tracking as a Starting Point Patti recommends starting with one of the simplest tools: a time tracker. She’s created an Excel spreadsheet workbook that allows counselors to track: Time spent on individual students Tasks completed throughout the day Graphs and charts that automatically populate from your entries This is perfect for sharing with admin, staying accountable, and noticing patterns in how your time is spent. You can find this resource in Patti’s Teachers Pay Teachers store (linked in the show notes below). Using Google Tools for Easy Data Collection Another strategy Patti loves: Google Forms + the Google Suite. These tools are powerful for: Progress monitoring Sending surveys to students, teachers, and caregivers Collecting ongoing data during small groups Tracking changes in student behavior or academic progress And bonus—sending forms to caregivers via email often leads to higher participation rates than paper handouts. Advice for New Counselors Start small. Patti suggests: Begin with tracking your time, since it’s something you’re already doing Add in pre/post assessments once you’re in the groove Use tools that already exist—no need to reinvent the wheel A Mindset Shift: The Slow Cooker Analogy “Our work is like a slow cooker, not a microwave.” Counselors often wish for a quick fix, but real change takes time. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see growth right away. If your data isn’t showing growth: Don’t take it personally—there are many factors at play Use it as a learning opportunity Be willing to adapt and try new approaches Track student growth over time, especially with Tier 2 or Tier 3 students This conversation was such a great reminder that data doesn't have to be intimidating—it can actually empower us to better serve our students and advocate for ourselves. You can connect with Patti and find her time tracker and other amazing resources linked below in the show notes. Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you next week on School Counseling Simplified!

  • 242. How to "addiction proof" your students with Kriya Lendzion

    242. How to "addiction proof" your students with Kriya Lendzion
    Apr 1 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! This month, I’m excited to bring you guest sessions with experts, and today’s episode is a special one. I have with me Kriya Lendzion, a school counselor turned prevention specialist who focuses on addiction prevention. Originally inspired by her personal journey through teen addiction, Kriya Lendzion is fiercely dedicated to helping educators prevent and intervene early in students’ addictive and self-destructive behaviors. She combines her 23 years as a School Counselor with additional expertise as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Certified Prevention Specialist, and Adolescent Therapist, providing schools across the globe with drug and alcohol education, professional development, curriculum, and consultation. Kriya splits her time between beautiful Asheville, North Carolina and Glastonbury, Connecticut. We’re diving into how you can “addiction-proof” your students, covering everything from vaping to screens. Kriya’s work is rooted in both experience and expertise—she’s a former school counselor who has worked with diverse age groups, an addiction clinician, and now, a prevention specialist dedicated to helping schools implement effective drug education and early intervention strategies. Why Prevention Matters Students are constantly receiving messages that counteract what we teach about addiction. From social media to peer influence, they’re often told that addiction is harmless. Our job as educators and counselors is to speak louder, more often, and in ways that truly reach them. Kriya outlines five key categories that help schools establish effective addiction prevention programs: 1. Research-Based Information (Science-Based Education) Information needs to be accurate, research-backed, and tailored to students’ values and realities. Present information in a non-judgmental way—empowering students with knowledge and choice builds respect. Use passive reinforcement strategies like bulletin boards, signs, and classroom posters to keep prevention messaging visible. 2. Collaboration to Delay Substance Use Work across departments to help students delay substance use as long as possible. Curricular infusion: Integrate drug education into multiple subjects, making it a part of every student’s learning. Foster school connectedness so that every student feels seen, valued, and supported. Provide parent and family resources so that parents have the right knowledge to engage in open, informed conversations with their children. Involve administration and peer-led programs to create a whole-school prevention culture. 3. Teaching Resistance Skills Equip students with practical tools to say no to addiction before they face pressure. Weave prevention programming into classes and school activities. Use media and storytelling to make lessons relatable. Start early with age-appropriate discussions—even in kindergarten. Instill strong values and goals that help students make healthier choices. Encourage collaboration among teachers, counselors, and parents to reinforce these lessons. 4. Value Exploration Activities Help students identify their own values and how addiction could impact them. Use reflective activities to help students connect their goals and aspirations with their choices. 5. Addressing Adolescent Needs Understand that addiction often stems from unmet needs. Provide healthy alternatives and coping strategies to help students navigate stress, emotions, and peer pressure. Final Thoughts Kriya’s insights highlight the importance of proactive prevention strategies in schools. By implementing these five categories, we can empower students with knowledge, skills, and support to make healthy choices.

  • 241. One Data Tool You Should Use in March

    241. One Data Tool You Should Use in March
    Mar 25 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I love following themes on the podcast, and for the month of March, I’m taking you through my lesson plans step by step! Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about how to use a curriculum map to organize what you’re teaching across each tier. I love using a curriculum map because it keeps everything structured and helps ensure you’re covering essential topics. My IMPACT members receive these maps so they know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to implement each lesson—complete with all the resources included! If you’re a podcast listener and want to try out a curriculum map for yourself, head to the resources section to grab your full-year lesson plans. If you haven’t already, make sure to go back and listen to this month’s episodes on Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 resources. Today, we’re shifting our focus to data tools—specifically, self-assessments! What Are Self-Assessments? Self-assessments are short quizzes that students complete before and after counseling sessions. These tools help measure student growth by tracking their understanding of key skills. Here’s how they work: Students complete a pre-assessment before the first counseling session. They complete a post-assessment after the final session. The assessments include statements with response options (Yes, Maybe, or No). For example, if you’re running a small group on academic skills, your self-assessment might include statements like: I can identify several test-taking strategies. I am prepared for class. I know what it means to procrastinate. I recommend using 7 to 10 statements and ensuring that you are actively teaching these concepts during your sessions. The goal is that students demonstrate improvement in their post-assessment, showing they’ve gained a stronger understanding of the skills you taught. Why Use Self-Assessments? Self-assessments provide measurable data that can be shared with administrators, parents, and other stakeholders. They help determine: If a student is ready to graduate from counseling. If a group needs re-teaching as a whole. If individual students need additional support in specific areas. Every decision we make as school counselors should be data-driven. Using self-assessments helps you build confidence in your role and demonstrate the impact of your counseling program. Organizing Your Self-Assessment Data You can use paper-based self-assessments or create digital versions for easier data management. A great option is to use QR codes and Google Forms, which allow responses to autopopulate into pie charts for a clear visual representation of student progress. This makes it easy to track growth and share results with stakeholders. Access More Resources All the strategies I’ve covered this month, including self-assessment templates, are available to IMPACT members. If you’re an IMPACT member, make sure you’re taking advantage of these resources! If you’re not yet a member, IMPACT is my monthly membership for school counselors—designed to make your life easier by providing free access to all my TPT resources, professional development, support, and more!

Ever wondered, “Why are my students so anxious, and how can I help them beyond just deep breathing exercises?” You’re not alone! I wanted to go beyond the basics and dive into the psychological cycles of stress—and now I have a FREE training for you!
