What is courage?
Courage (noun): the ability to do something that you know is difficult or
dangerous
How does it relate to our work as school counselor educators?
How to build data courageous school counselors?
•C ollaboration is required within programs, within the college, and within the overall educational community.•O ptimize student exposure to data courageous models.•U - R able to do this! (This is a necessary guiding message from professor to student)•A nalyze how our training choices are received by and affect school districts.•G row a data courageous identity intentionally from the start and throughout their preparation program.•E levate the assignments to require a “using data” focus from a “knowing how to use data level.”
Collaboration is required within programs, within the college, and within the overall educational community.
• Within Programs & University• Across the curriculum in
counseling programs• With training programs that train
other educational professionals• With Community• Working school counselors• Site supervisors• Local & district office school
administrators• District school counseling leaders
Optimize student exposure to data courageous models.
• Use data courageous working school counselors as models of how this looks, feels, goes in the real world• Invite panel participants to classes.• Connect students with working
school counselors at conferences. • Encourage them to shadow
counselors to see data courageous in action• Use video clips of ally grads or
other school counselor colleagues as introductions or encouragers along the way
U – R Able To Do This!
• They don’t want to mess up.• They need to hear that they can...a lot.• Process their fear, but keep them moving.• Build in opportunities for success.• Start with small assignments that build
gradually.• Have the same assignment multiple
times at multiple points with feedback in between.• Use a balanced feedback approach.
Analyze how our training choices are received by and affect districts.
• TEACH students through modeling• Program Advisory Councils• Collaborate with district
supervisors to develop minimum standards for practicum/internship students to begin and finish their placements regardless of program of origin• Examples of surveys to students,
alumni, working school counselors & district leaders
Grow a data courageous identity intentionally from the start and throughout their preparation program.
• Look for openness in interviews• Start on orientation day• Can be facilitated in classroom-
based or non-classroom based environments• Think about how it can be
integrated into core courses possibly not taught by school counselor educators• This is an ideal place to use
your ally graduates
Elevate the assignments to require a “using data” focus from a “knowing how to use data level.”
• Moving from classroom to the world of work• Thoughtful planning of the
practicum/internship experience• Site Supervision which focuses on
the importance of data collection• Final project which can be presented
to administration at internship site• Focus on data focused interviewing
skills
Developmental TimelineCohort Training Model
