You are absolutely correct. It is all about the relationship. RT @kelly_counselor: A1: Like a marriage- trust andrespect! Ha! #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:08 | ARHSswampfox

Q1: definitely communication! Love humor and fun too. Can't be all serious all the time #scchat


@RL_SchCounselor Completely agree! Humor a MUST! #scchat


Do you find that administration has time either at the beginning or ending of the day to communicate with itscounselors? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:09 | annmarie0609

A1: a counselor with a strong understanding of their role #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:09 | jmvdoc

A1: I'd say when a principal understands and respects the role of a school counselor. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:09 | hmsadilek

“@Megan_M_Kelly: Gotta say I love the intern representation tonight! #scchat” Boo Ya! Awesome!!!


“@SSpellmanCann: High School counsellor in Calgary Alberta #scchat” Yay Susan is here!


@ARHSCounselor Sometimes you just have to laugh. And remember to not get "stuck" in one way of thinking.#scchat


@jmvdoc there needs to a clear mutual understanding of the principal's expectation/perception of schoolcounselor's role #scchat


And admin's understanding of that role too! RT @jmvdoc: A1: a counselor with a strong understanding of theirrole #scchat


@annmarie0609 Mine communicate with me continuously throughout the day. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:10 | mkelley723

It is important to make time to touch base each day.RT @annmarie0609: Do you find that administration has timeeither at the beginni #scchat


@jmvdoc but how to educate/advocate for that role? Especially when the principal is new to the ASCAP modelcounselor??#Scchat


A1: as a former counselor I, now as a Principal, wonder what counselors stand for...once I hear it then I am all in!#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:10 | jmvdoc

Is there a time in the day when everyone de-stresses...including the principal? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:11 | annmarie0609

@MrJGoldman agreed but a strong counselor can shape the uninformed admin toward thier purpose #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:11 | jmvdoc

Currently tackling question on "the relationship b/t counselor and principal, #scchat if you'd like to tag along!@PaulPetersonSPH

14-Nov-12 01:11 | andyvl16

A1: Relationships relationships relationships, trust, advocacy #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:11 | dpk933

Man, you guys are awesome! Great answers!! Don't we all wish we had ALL of these? #scchat


I'm finding that my new admin. this year and I are touching base everyday and it has made a HUGE difference!#scchat


That and her understanding my role much better than my former admin. #scchat


@kelly_counselor I feel disconnected too, if I don't check in to at least say "hello" everyday. #scchat


@kristiykendrick when a principal asks "what are your goals for this year?" The response needs to be shapedaround couns standards #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:12 | jmvdoc

@kelly_counselor This is a huge accomplishment. Congrats!! #scchat


INDEED! when a principal asks "what are your goals for this year?" The response needs to be shaped aroundcouns standards #scchat


A1; My director is often a fourth admin. this requires daily communication #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:13 | dpk933

The relationship needs to be developed and is rapidly changing given educational changes #scchat


@kristiykendrick weekly meetings, Friday 9:30am, counselors & admin set the agenda together #scchat


This is encouraging great discussion within our internship class. We all have varied experiences #scchat


Big question for administrators and counselors....is there a curriculum that takes place during advisory? good useof time! #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:14 | annmarie0609

A1: Discretion & trust are key with sensitive situations. Also, a shared belief in whole child &ability to be bothgood & bad cop. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:14 | SchifferB

@BCrudale @kristiykendrick I'd love if my admin team and my dept had mutual time on a weekly basis! #scchat


@RL_SchCounselor @kelly_counselor agreed, frequency seems to trump length in prin-counselorcommunication. #scchat


@annmarie0609 We have weekly mtg with all support staff to discuss at risk students #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:14 | dpk933

@bcrudale love that idea! @jmvdoc great reminder :) #Scchat


Remember if the goals are not clear...when a "non counseling" task comes up, then you might get asked to do it.#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:15 | jmvdoc

Frequency is critical. RT @ecmmason: @RL_SchCounselor @kelly_counselor agreed, frequency seems totrump length in prin-counselor #scchat


@MrJGoldman just set the time! We didn't have time before we made it a priority #scchat


We also have a weekly meeting this year too! I am spoiled, but take into account my new admin. is now female,my age, etc. #scchat


@kristiykendrick @bcrudale thank you! #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:15 | jmvdoc

When you have weekly meetings is it to monitor progress and update plans or just reporting statistics? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:15 | annmarie0609

@jschmitz2 Curious to know how often your interns meet with admins? #scchat


#scchat Good evening all! Sorry I'm a bit late. Frequent, open, transparent communication encourages trust!!

14-Nov-12 01:16 | leshhs1

Once a week@leshh1 #scchat


I have our counselor in our admin meeting at the beginning, then once updated on initiatives we continue withouther #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:17 | jmvdoc

@Megan_M_Kelly @jschmitz2 Also curious too! As an intern, I don't get much face time with the principal#scchat


Every day. They need to get used to the level of communication that is necessary.RT @Megan_M_Kelly:@jschmitz2 Curious to know how o #scchat


I agree as a 1st year counselor! RT @ARHSswampfox: Every day. They need to get used to the level ofcommunication that is necessary. #scchat


Great conference this past weekend in Providence...disappointed in turnout but terrific key note speaker...#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:19 | annmarie0609

Q2: I'm hearing trust, respect, communication, understanding of roles, & much more. What are some possiblebarriers? #scchat


@jschmitz2 That's awesome! Admin must advocate for their counselors and protect that collaboration time!#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:19 | leshhs1

@jmvdoc don't want to get off topic too much but curious as to how and why u went from #psc to #administrator#scchat


he believe communication should start in junior high for post h.s. Administration/counselor standard? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:19 | annmarie0609

Loving the idea of setting up a weekly meeting w/ my principal- I try to catch her daily, but she is incredibly busyand on the go #scchat


I have a partnership with my principal. A valued relationship for both of us. I don't want his job and he doesn'twant mine. #scchat


A2: in my perception age and experience difference was a big barrier with my former administrator. Not alwaysthe case tho. #scchat


@thelittlegum @jschmitz2 My admin love that I ask4their opinions on my needs assessments- they enjoy helpngme learn drng internship #scchat


Did you know that the college planning center, where I am interning, sees many juniors who are trying tounderstand process #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:20 | annmarie0609

#scchat barrier to admin/counselor collab is definitely disconnect in time: I'm with kids, they're doing obsvn &discipline, hard to connect


@kristiykendrick This works great! We have to stick to an agenda or we'll go on forever solving the worldsproblems. #scchat


@kelly_counselor great question...making a difference in schools around systems like counseling and support#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:21 | jmvdoc

TIME! RT @ARHSCounselor: Q2: I'm hearing trust, respect, communication, understanding of roles... What aresome possible barriers? #scchat


Is this something administration/counselors consider a goal...post h.s. planning #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:21 | annmarie0609

Q2: admin should take coun course, & vice versa, in grad school so roles are understood #scchat


@ARHSCounselor barrier is often lack of communication. #schoolcounselors must be willing to make first move.#scchat


COOL! RT @jmvdoc: @kelly_counselor great question...making a difference in schools around systems likecounseling and support #scchat


@MrJGoldman agreed! Get centered with your purpose to make it a challenge to place you in non counselingtasks #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:22 | jmvdoc

A2: Time and priorities are the only two I can think of that represent significant issues. #scchat


@megan m Kelly we agree, many of the prin enjoy the interns being there...and helping them learn #scchat


time is a challenge. I often cannot get into the details. Make your case and lets make a decision in the bestinterest of student #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:23 | dpk933

YES!!! College & Career Readiness.RT @annmarie0609: Is this something administration/counselors consider agoal...post h.s. planning #scchat


We are responsible for sharing our roles too #scchat


There is always too much to do or too many fires to put out some days! #scchat


You really have to back yourself up w data to be invaluable and be a priority! #scchat


Used to put monthly/weekly time tracking sheets in principal's mailbox if didn't see him/her #scchat.Communication comes in many forms.


@dpk933 great point-- I can go on and on when I'm passionate. Who has time for all of that?? #scchat


we have a counsellor advocate in our district who in-services admin. on our roles and how we can work togetherbreaks down barriers #scchat


#scchat in my prev school, a bigger problem was lack of prof respect. Now, my AP @whatley_kevin was in myposition 10yrs ago #problemsolved


A2: don't surprise your principal,If you are dealing with a critical student issue make sure to inform them #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:25 | jmvdoc

A2: TIME! Even in our weekly admin team mtgs, it is difficult for everyone to make time for "counseling" items!#scchat


I am noticing that time continues to be the largest barrier to overcome. What are some suggestions to overcomethis barrier? #scchat


@ecmmason Weekly reminders of how we use our time! Great idea, but making the report takes time, too.#ascaRAMP #scchat


@dpk933 YES! Short, sweet, to the point. Data helps. NO rambling. Be prepared. 2-3 min at most. #scchat


A2: go to prin. w/ possible solutions, not just problems #scchat


@ecmmason Excellent point! #scchat


Mid year....data should be collected...presented in a meeting between counselors and administration to plan outrest of the year. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:26 | annmarie0609

Walk though the hall and talk with your administrator- one minute is better than zero with #exercise #scchat


@ecmmason @dpk933 And bring handouts w/ data for later reference. #scchat


RT @ecmmason: @dpk933 YES! Short, sweet, to the point. Data helps. NO rambling. Be prepared. 2-3 min atmost. #scchat


programs such as bullying, time management, who is failing, tutoring, etc. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:27 | annmarie0609

@BCrudale yes!!! Bring those solutions and steer your admin around what you value. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:27 | jmvdoc

@BCrudale #scchat And 9/10 the principal will use your suggestion!!!

14-Nov-12 01:27 | leshhs1

Our weekly meeting addresses majority of "big" cases. Lots of lunch mtgs. even texts late in evening #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:27 | dpk933

RT @BCrudale: A2: go to prin. w/ possible solutions, not just problemsYES! This is a great point! #scchat

This was a great experience! Thank you for welcoming me. Have to go and teach #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:28 | jmvdoc

@RL_SchCounselor @MrJGoldman Simple is fine. Find frequency that works 4 u. "Special" weeks might beworth sharing out of reg sched #scchat


We love solutions. Our counselors bring a different set of strategies to the table.RT @BCrudale: A2: go to prin. w/possible solutio #scchat


@kelly_counselor I have to run when "walking" with @ARHSswampfox. :) She's in high gear ALL DAY! #scchat


@jmvdoc Your input has been awesome!!! Thank YOU! #scchat


@dpk933 our wkly mtgs are not about specific kids, about big picture issues & how to solve them #scchat


Mine RUNS in HEELS! @kelly_counselor I have to run when "walking" with @ARHSswampfox. :) She's in highgear ALL DAY! #scchat


Sounds counterintuitive, but taking frequently with small bits of info saves time. No need for big long mtgs thatnever happen. #scchat


“@kelly_counselor: Walk though the hall and talk with your administrator- one minute is better than zero with#exercise #scchat” LOVE!


@ecmmason Every 15 min I jot down what I'm doing in my planner for own reference/ if I'm asked for. Works forme, just curious! #scchat


@SchifferB Thanks for joining #scchat! #TeamBCPS


“@kelly_counselor we do the walk and talk a lot! #scchat

@cindralaluna awe thank you! #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:30 | jmvdoc

But even if meetings between administration/counselors once a month...exchange of ideas, progress ofprograms, monitoring students #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:30 | annmarie0609

#scchat SCHOOL COUNSELORS ROCK!!!! :)

14-Nov-12 01:31 | leshhs1

Don't you think you need facts in front of you to inform? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:31 | annmarie0609

@RL_SchCounselor Why wait to be asked?! Volunteer a sample an see what feedback u get! #scchat


A2: In monthly meetings with all admin. share, celebrate, look at innovative ideas to help students together#scchat


@annmarie0609 #scchat My principal rarely expects me to know the data immediately. Follow-up email suffices.


I'm going to write a book about Walk and Talk! ;) RT @PSCErin: “@kelly_counselor we do the walk and talk a lot!#scchat


Yes they do. They are an essential key to the success of a school!RT @leshhs1: #scchat SCHOOLCOUNSELORS ROCK!!!! :) #scchat


Q4: We've got the relationship perfected. :) Let's talk collaboration. Do you plan programs/initiatives, etctogether? #scchat


@ecmmason Good point :) #scchat Why not share what we do all day?


Side bar conversation. Hey @leshhs1 What happened to 'Bama? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:32 | dpk933

“@RL_SchCounselor: @ecmmason Good point :) #scchat Why not share what we do all day?” YES! Beproactive.


If everyone is "walking and talking", is there any personalization being done in the school during the day?#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:34 | annmarie0609

@MrJGoldman @ARHSswampfox just "GULPED." Hahaha! We eat, breath, sleep data. I better know it.#scchat


A4: I hope next year to look much more at data to find achievement gaps to plan programs, etc. She's gotta learnthe job this year! #scchat


@dpk933 #scchat Dan!!! Wow!!! A&M outplayed and out coached us! Johnny Football had quite a game! Toofast! But ROLL TIDE!!!

14-Nov-12 01:34 | leshhs1

@ARHSCounselor A4: Recently included admin on a google doc for their input on a school-wide assessment.#sctech #scchat


Collaboration? A4: Pretty excited about a bullying action plan we're going to develop together. #scchat


Does anyone stop and just take a breather and talk to the students.... at lunch time..before or after school?#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:34 | annmarie0609

Advice for getting your first job after graduating? Graduated in May & no luck as of yet! #frustrated #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:35 | LaurenAshley07

@ARHSCounselor #scchat I perceive at my school, our principal steers the ship and advises; the APs help theboots-on-the-ground planning.


Q4: we do plan. It's great to be able to bounce ideas off each other and get some honest, constructive feedback.#scchat


I have presented some data to her, though. Hope to start the RAMP process too this year to support my programmore! #scchat


@annmarie0609 no, we just walk and talk. of course there is. we are non-stop for kids. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:35 | mkelley723

@leshhs1 Sorry had to comment. Although I should not as the Buckeyes are ineligible. At least your still bowlbound. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:36 | dpk933

A4: yes! We often plan together, pilot a program, & get feedback from principal/other counselors before going big#scchat


As principals we must steer the ship, but I must rely upon many to assist in finding the correct coordinates tonavigate. #scchat


Of course! Relationship is everything.RT @annmarie0609: Does anyone stop and just take a breather and talk tothe students #scchat


@kelly_counselor Baseline Data is the name of the game this year. Wow her with what YOU collect. #scchat


#scchat Include counselors in school wide planning whenever possible!!!

14-Nov-12 01:37 | leshhs1

Agreed! I hate finding about things after the fact. RT @leshhs1: #scchat Include counselors in school wideplanning whenever possible!!!


A4: We collab on big projects/initiatives before going live with whole school/all staff. #scchat


10-4! RT@ARHSCounselor: Baseline Data is the name of the game this year. Wow her with what YOU collect.#scchat


The best reflection on a principal or guidance counselor is when you are some where other than school and kidswalk up and say Hi... #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:38 | annmarie0609

@mkelley723 Excellent Answer! #scchat


@annmarie0609: Does anyone stop and just take a breather and talk to the students. That is always a priority!#scchat”


Now that is trust and relationship...because they are pro-active. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:38 | annmarie0609

In RI counselors are not part of new eval system. Need to be creative to include them in discussion. #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:39 | dpk933

A4: admin has counsellors share at every staff meeting and we plan around themes #scchat


@SSpellmanCann I really value that my admin team cultivates leadership from all willing staff members #scchat


@dpk933 We are writing prof. growth goals this year, asst principal is our evaluator #scchat


“@SSpellmanCann: A4: admin has counsellors share at every staff meeting and we plan around themes #scchat”NICE!


RT @annmarie0609: Does anyone stop and just take a breather and talk to the students - 99% of convos arestudent centered! #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:40 | dpk933

What about staff development? Do you plan/present together? #scchat


In planning counselors keep us data-informed instead of data-driven. They ensure all those numbers havenames, faces, & stories. #scchat


@cindralaluna @rl_schcounselor NEVER too late to start! #scchat


Building leadership capacity within a building is so important to the culture of any shool.RT @MrJGoldman:@SSpellmanCann I really v #scchat


Like the sound of that ...student centered and that data has names, face, and stories. #scchat

@ARHSCounselor planning and presenting together great idea!!!! #scchat


Thank goodness!! RT @ecmmason: @cindralaluna @rl_schcounselor NEVER too late to start! #scchat


I have asked to do this and we will get there, especially with implementing PBIS next year. #changes #scchat


Advocacy, Leadership, Accountability. Sound familiar? Are we all working toward the same goal...increasingstudent achievement? #scchat


You forgot one...what about socialization...students need to find compassion for one another. Life is hard forsome. #scchat

RT @HCSCounselor: #scchat be willing to be a leader in your school #scchat


@ARHSCounselor I'd say *similar* goals. Admin must take systemic view, even if right decision isn't right for thatone student. #scchat


Yes I am familiar with ASCA National Model but I feel that sometimes we forget what some students are goingthrough.#scchat

14-Nov-12 01:48 | annmarie0609

I want to be more of a role in increasing student ach. and I know the ASCA National Model is the way to move tothe next level! #scchat

@HCMSCounselor @hcscounselor Presenting about Principal/Counselor Relationship this week at ASCA.#scchat has been great tonight!!

14-Nov-12 01:50 | leshhs1

Absolutely! Every leadership team must have a school counselor!RT @ecmmason: If not on your schoolsleadership team (whatever it is #scchat


I didn't ask, I told. Just like dad taught me. :) @ecmmason: If not on your school's leadership team, ASK to be.#scchat


@ecmmason A little intimidating in the 1st year, but I could give it a shot #scchat


#scchat per data-principals=quality, counselors=frequency

You will quit being afraid very quickly! RT @kristiykendrick: A little intimidating in the 1st year, but I could give it ashot #scchat


Do it tomorrow! Take the initiative! RT @kristiykendrick: @ecmmason A little intimidating in the 1st year, but Icould give it #scchat


#scchat Counselors play a vital role in building leadership capacity in all schools.

Ur right! Need a refresher, thanks RT @trishahvz: @kelly_counselor check out NOSCA's Own The TurfCampaign for more great ideas! #scchat


@kelly_counselor :) #scchat


@kelly_counselor I'd argue this is best done by being a resource to teachers. Help them reach who & wherethey cant alone. #scchat


Share data for equity & access, enrollment trends, culture& climate, & what works/doesn't work. Gotta love data!#scchat


To quote Pat Martin from the @ASCATweets conf in June "Learn to speak your principal's language". #scchat

RT @trishahvz: @kelly_counselor check out NOSCAs Own The Turf Campaign for more great ideas! #scchat


@ARHSswampfox Will do... Just what I needed to talk about tonight! Thank you for the encouragement! #scchat


@ARHSCounselor Again, a major positive to my school is that my principal and I both value closingequity/access gaps. #scchat


Great mentor once told me, convince your principal you are not just a "certified nice person." #scchat


Right now working as a 1-on-1 aide at a special ed school. No room for advancement as I was told they only hiresocial workers. #scchat


However hoping to make connections & it is an experience in an educational setting #scchat


Understanding roles...for each of you...is HUGE! #scchat


gr8 when you are new to a school that the p already sees sc's as leaders and vital to the leadership team just asVP's are seen #scchat


But I am! ;) RT @ecmmason: Great mentor once told me, convince your principal you are not just a "certified niceperson." #scchat


Your principal will appreciate the effort and initiative.RT @kristiykendrick: @ARHSswampfox Will do... Just what Ineeded to talk ab #scchat


@ARHSCounselor Is there a good place to read about the principal role online? School counselors have generalrole descrip. on ASCA. #scchat

@msollitto I couldn't agree more. You sound very intelligent. Are you a doctor by any chance? #scchat

14-Nov-12 01:56 | mkelley723

@ecmmason Thank you!! Love this. #scchat rocks! Just what was needed. #scchat


@RL_SchCounselor @ARHSCounselor I think of the Bob Dylan's song "Gotta Serve Somebody." #scchat Cserves P, P serves superintendent.
