Podcasts about grad school

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.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. This month, I've been taking you through my lesson plans step by step to help you feel more organized and confident in your school counseling program. Over the past few weeks, we've talked about using a curriculum map to plan lessons across all three tiers. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the previous episodes on Tier 1 and Tier 2 resources. I love using a curriculum map because it keeps everything structured and organized. My IMPACT members get full access to these maps, allowing them to see exactly what to teach, when to teach it, and how to implement it, along with all the necessary resources. If you're a podcast listener and want to try out the curriculum map for yourself, head to the resources section below to get lesson plans for the entire year. Today, we're diving into Tier 3 individual counseling, which is typically referral-based. A common reason for referrals is divorce or separation, which can be incredibly traumatic for children. In this episode, I'm sharing individual counseling strategies to help students process and cope with this major life change. You can spread these activities across multiple sessions or focus on them in a single session, depending on what best fits your student's needs. Individual Counseling Activities for Divorce Before and After Activity: Have students illustrate what their life looked like before and after their parents' divorce, then use the drawings as a conversation starter. Living Arrangement Calendar & Packing Checklist: Help students create a visual calendar of their new living arrangements. Discuss their feelings and help them prepare a packing checklist so they feel more secure and in control. Banana Split Coping Activity: Either make real banana splits or craft a banana split model to introduce different coping strategies. Each topping represents a coping skill, such as exercising, listening to music, journaling, or talking to a trusted adult. Journaling: Depending on the student's age, you can use open-ended journaling, guided prompts, visual sorting activities, or structured lists to help them express their thoughts and emotions. Coping Skills Toolbox: Work together to create a personalized toolbox of strategies the student can use when feeling overwhelmed. The student can label the individual tools with coping strategies such as: breathing exercises, sensory tools, or calming techniques. Tracking Progress: Individual Counseling Data Tools It's essential to track progress in individual counseling. Use self-assessments and gather behavioral data from parents and teachers to measure whether the intervention is effective. This data can help determine if the student is making progress or if additional support is needed. I hope these ideas give you a solid starting point for supporting students navigating divorce or separation.

Since testing season is approaching, now is a great time to form an academic skills group to help students feel prepared and confident. These groups provide strategies for test-taking success and help reduce testing anxiety. My small groups typically last 8 weeks and are FULL of activities, but here are a couple that I would recommend! Icebreakers & Activities Test-Taking Tips Matching Game – Review and reflect on actual test-taking strategies in a fun, interactive way. Prepared or Procrastinator Board Game – A game where students land on a “Prepared” or “Procrastinator” card and discuss the scenario before moving forward or backward. This helps reinforce the importance of study habits and time management.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro 0:51 My wife hired an escort but says it wasn't technically cheating!  19:01 I'm going to grad school to find a rich husband, but I'm not that into it 40:38 Scratching the psychological itch to get revenge Question 1: Dear Dr. Lisle, I'm a 38 year old male and I work very long hours in finance. My wife, who is 27, and I have been going through a sort of dead bedroom situation for the past few months because I have been working 16-18 hours a day and sleeping about 4 hours per night. She is a housewife so she stays at home all day. Recently I just found out that my wife has been paying for and meeting with a male escort twice a week for the past three months while I was working. She confirmed that they did sleep together every time they met. She says that this is not technically cheating because she paid for his consent, so basically he didn't want to have sex with her, he just did it for money so this shouldn't count as cheating. She said there are no romantic feelings between them, but she hired the same guy for the past three months so obviously she's attracted to him. Then she tried to blame it on me for working too much and not being there for her. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I feel heartbroken and betrayed. Is she right in saying that hiring an escort doesn't count as cheating? Who is in the wrong here, me for working too much and neglecting her, or her for paying for sex and companionship outside the marriage? I don't know if I should stay with her or not, I love her but I'm furious with her for taking advantage of my good nature and spending thousands of dollars of my hard earned money so she can sleep with someone else. Question 2: Is it wrong to go to grad school with the primary goal of finding a smart, conscientious, potentially rich husband? I'm a second year dental school student, but I'm honestly here mostly to put myself in an environment surrounded by intelligent hardworking men, so I can have something in common with them and make them see me as wife material. I'm also hoping the repeat exposure would help. I am scraping by in school, passing but not too passionate about it as my main goal in life is to be a housewife to a rich husband. I'm just hoping to use the doctorate degree as an accessory to attract these men. Am I wrong in the way I'm thinking? P.S. Otherwise, where would I meet such men, on dating apps? I don't think so. Question 3: Does Dr. Lisle have any strategies for scratching the psychological itch to get revenge when someone has wronged you? Over two years ago, a long term “friend” betrayed me in an undeniable way and never acknowledged it or seemed remorseful.  We are no longer friends and don't even talk, but have many mutual friends so he is somewhat in my life. I feel that he owes me a debt and sometimes ruminate about it. I have a near constant underlying feeling that I want him to experience the shock and betrayal that I did, and that I would be willing to facilitate it if I could.  I try to put my energy into developing other, more authentic relationships and into healthy living. Is living well actually the best revenge? I am not feeling that yet and would like to serve it cold instead.

What happens when (as is the focus in most western grad school programs) we emphasize diagnosis and prescription over the therapeutic relationship and holistic healing? We might end up with excellent theoretical knowledge and clinical skills, and while those things are important, they're only one piece of the support that's needed to facilitate effective and lasting healing and growth. So how do we start (or continue) to shift the focus of therapeutic work towards a more integrated, accepting and holistic approach? Join Silvana Espinoza and I as we explore what it takes to decolonize therapy and coaching practices. We discuss why the process starts with decolonizing ourselves—examining the values, biases, and systems we've unconsciously absorbed. Listen in to discover what grad school didn't teach you about reclaiming your own healing medicine and approaches that honor community and right relationship, as we envision a future of healing that resists the mental health industrial complex and centers authentic connection and liberation. Through our conversation, you will find some actionable steps and thought-provoking insights for creating a practice rooted in justice, equity, and genuine care. Silvana Espinoza Lau is an embodied liberation and decolonization consultant and coach for therapists, healers, and service providers. Silvana coaches therapists and healers who want to incorporate decolonized, liberation focused and anti-oppressive values in their practices in an embodied way and consults with mental health agencies that want to center therapy seekers with minoritized identities. She also consults with mental health agencies on how to incorporate decolonial mental health practices. Silvana is an LMFT in private practice in unceded Kalapuya territory (Oregon), and a clinical supervisor and consultant to both licensed and prelicensed clinicians with a focus on anti-oppressive and decolonized therapy practice.

This week, we read and discussed Eley and Blackbourn's indispensable discussion of the Sonderweg, or special path, of German history. It is often said that Germany's path to the Holocaust begins with the failure of the bourgeois revolution to take hold. This book posits a top-down Bonapartist "revolution" led by Otto von Bismarck which thoroughly bourgeoisified German society from the top to the bottom.Blackbourn, David, and Geoff Eley, The Peculiarities of German History: Bourgeois Society and Politics in Nineteenth-Century Germany (Oxford, 1984; Oxford Academic, 3 Oct. 2011)Send us a textSupport the show

Even if you've been following my work for a while, you're not going to believe how bad the state of affairs has gotten when it comes to postgraduate education in counseling psychology — until you hear from today's guest. Ryan Rogers, a student currently pursuing a masters degree in the hopes of becoming a therapist, joins me to discuss the troubling trends he's observed in mental health education. Ryan shares his personal journey, including his background in addiction and the motivation behind his pursuit of a counseling career. We delve into the alarming shift in graduate programs, where political activism often takes precedence over the core principles of therapy.Ryan highlights his experiences in classes that prioritize critical theory over practical skills, leaving students ill-equipped to address the real needs of their clients. We explore the implications of this shift, particularly in relation to suicide prevention, addiction treatment, and the importance of cultural competency. Ryan raises critical questions about the role of therapists: should they be activists for so-called social justice, or should they focus on helping individuals navigate their personal struggles?Throughout our conversation, we examine the consequences of substituting genuine therapeutic training with ideological indoctrination. As we unpack these issues, we aim to shed light on the future of counseling psychology and the urgent need for a return to a client-centered approach that prioritizes healing over activism.Ryan Rogers is a graduate student in clinical mental health counseling. He has a bachelor's degree in psychology and work history in addiction treatment.

Join Dr. Scott Stephens, Dr. Mike Brasher, and ultra special guest Dr. Brian Davis for storytelling of days gone by and a report on hunting and habitat conditions from one end of the Mississippi Flyway to the other. Warm weather has kept wetlands open and birds around in the Canadian prairies, and when coupled with light hunting pressure, hunting success has been good. Conditions for early white-front hunting in Arkansas have also been dry, but with young birds around, Dr. Davis reports of good hunting success. The conversation then turns to changes in rice production, how this has affected food resources for wintering waterfowl, and what other changes may lie ahead in the future.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org
