This journey has pushed me far outside my comfort zone, but it's also shown me what I'm truly capable of.If you're in the middle of a big life change, questioning your path, or just feeling stuck, this episode is for you.

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! Learn more by checking out the links below. And before you go, today is the LAST day to sign up for my free training! 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! Many counselors ask me how they can better support students with test anxiety beyond simple deep breathing exercises. I wanted to go beyond the basics and dive into the psychological cycles of stress, which led me to create a free live training called Help Students Break the Stress Cycle: The Anxiety Management Tool You Didn't Learn in Grad School! This training will empower you with new strategies to help students manage stress effectively. You can save your seat at stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/stresscycle.

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.

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! Last week, we covered Tier 1 strategies, and today, we're diving into Tier 2 small groups! Why Use a Curriculum Map? I LOVE using a curriculum map to stay organized—it helps you know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, plus it includes all the resources you need! My IMPACT members get full access to this, along with all my TPT resources for free. If you're a podcast listener, you can try out the curriculum map and get lesson plans for the entire year—just check the resources section below! 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.
