The average student to counselor ratio in 2013-2014 was 491 students to 1 counselor. In 2021-2022, 408 students to 1. My dream for the future of my profession is to finally reach that goal of 250 students to 1 counselor. Happy national school counseling week! #NSCW23 @EHinesPhD

I want to become a school counselor specifically to inspire my student population and advocate for underrepresented minority groups within the school system. #SCCHAT #FSUSC

Trend lines may be used to track student's academic progress over a certain number of weeks of instruction in order to determine if instructional change may be needed. Students' trend lines are analyzed in comparison to a goal line. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

By understanding the difference between the implementation of a 504 plan and an individual education plan, we can efficiently advocate for our student's educational needs as school counselors. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

Group therapeutic settings can be an excellent way of allowing students to connect based on a wide array of difficulties they may be facing - despite differences in gender, race, and ethnicity. Utilizing this setting can create a sense of connection. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

School counselors have the responsibility of providing positive direction to student's lifestyle choices. This may mean informing student populations on abstaining from substance misuse and other hazardous decisions. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

The person-centered child therapy approach includes engaging the child through factors such as play, art, and movement (body language). In doing this, a counselor can attempt to understand the child through a deeper understanding than just words. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

Clients may be able to express themselves better and connect to their socioemotional awareness in a group therapy setting in comparison to an individualized therapeutic session. This is all based on comfort level and the client/therapist relationship and rapport. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

One of the many ways academic professionals attempt to assess the accuracy of instruction is by examining data from tests such as EOCs, Pre-SATs, and SATs. These tests are used further than assessment of the individual student. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

School counselors at a high-school level are expected to address college and career readiness in their student population in order to prepare them. This may mean setting goals for academics, or just simply having an open conversation about opportunity. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

The collaboration between parents and school counselors encourages the development of an inclusive school setting where factors such as educational equality and proper academic advocation come into play. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

By attending national, state, and district-led presentations and meetings, we can manage to grow our network of educational professionals as school counselors and eventually successfully broaden the scope of resources for our students. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

By being prepared to work with students who have been exposed to racist material and behavior, we as counseling professionals can prepare to establish and advocate for an anti-bias framework for our educational setting. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

School counselors and other educational professionals are ethically responsible for breaking down systems of oppression. This specifically means infiltrating student's involvement with the cycle of racism, stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

Of the wide array of ethical guidelines identified by ASCA standards, an example of such is how counselors are directed on how to promote and legally navigate the protection of confidentiality and disclosure of student data. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

School counselors must navigate the multitude of ethical hot topics that appear during their time as a professional by consistently advocating for clients while following standard guidelines identified by the American School Counselor Association. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

Examples of collecting mindset and behavior data can include collecting student findings related to administering pre-tests, post-tests, and comparing knowledge recollection directly before/after a lesson, unit, or group session. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

Students that are present in schools that implement developmental guidance programs report to feel more prepared for college and post-educational opportunities. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

Studies indicate that different counseling activities in comparison to others will have more of an impact certain student populations. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Kaley Oliver @KaleyOliverFSU]

Student counselor ratios in comparison to student populations are often compared to the comparison of student achievement. #FSUSC #SCCHAT
