Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I hope your school year is off to a wonderful start. Today I'm excited to bring you a very special guest, Joyce Harduvel. Joyce is a passionate advocate for youth and the school counselors and social workers that support them. She worked in Chicago Public Schools for seven years where she specialized in evidence-based and trauma-informed behavior intervention for students with chronic challenging behaviors. Joyce is an advocate for proactive professional self care that allows school-based professionals to build that sustainable careers of their dreams so that they can do what is really important: support their students! She now works with school counselors and social workers as a coach and clinical supervisor while pursuing a law degree to further her skills in championing youth. In this episode, Joyce shares her expertise on how to create positive change for students by using data. She breaks down practical steps you can take to make data meaningful and actionable in your counseling practice. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: 1. Assessing the Situation Avoid going in with predetermined views. Begin with a holistic assessment that provides a well-rounded perspective of where a student is at. Gather information from multiple sources: families, teachers, and the students themselves. Use observations, records, and assessments to inform your starting point. 2. Developing Goals and Tracking Data Identify a lagging social-emotional skill and create a targeted goal. Explore resources like CASEL, which breaks SEL skills into five domains and offers free research and tools. Start small—choose one specific area to focus on. Establish a baseline using student records (assignments, attendance, GPA, behavior data). Incorporate tracking methods such as antecedent-behavior forms, duration or interval data, mood tracking, or SEL pre/post tests. Refine your goal to ensure it is SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound). Break goals into smaller benchmarks for clarity and progress monitoring. 3. Using Data to Drive Interventions Collect ongoing data through screeners, classroom input, or case notes. Remember—the point of collecting data is to actually use it. If progress isn't happening, adjust your goals and strategies. Use data to guide your interventions, advocate for student needs, and identify trends that may inform Tier 1 or Tier 2 supports. Most importantly, use data to celebrate student growth and successes along the way. This episode is packed with practical strategies to help you see data not as a burden, but as a powerful tool to create meaningful, positive change for your students.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT CASEL  Woodcock-Johnson Testing   Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube Connect with Joyce: www.joyce-lcsw.com Instagram  More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I hope your school year is off to a fantastic start. In this episode, I'm sharing four creative, hands-on ways to freshen up your Meet the Counselor lesson. I truly believe that every counselor should include a Meet the Counselor lesson at the beginning of the year. My personal favorite is a Meet the Counselor Game Show. It's competitive, fun, and requires very little prep. Most importantly, it's an excellent advocacy tool. It gives students clarity on who you are, what you do, and how they can access your services. But if you're looking to add something new this year, I've got four simple ideas you can incorporate: Emotions Charades Turn learning into a game by having students act out emotions from a card while their classmates guess. This helps students practice reading facial expressions and body language, while also developing empathy and emotional recognition. Counseling Treasure Hunt Set up a scavenger hunt in your space with counseling-related items like a mandala coloring sheet, fidgets, or SEL books. As students find each object, engage them in discussion about how these items are used in counseling. Mindfulness Moments Introduce mindfulness by leading a guided meditation or creating a mindfulness jar. Both activities provide practical examples of self-regulation strategies that students can use throughout the year. Vision Collages Encourage self-expression by having students create collages that represent their goals, likes, dreams, and hopes. They can cut out images from magazines or design a digital version online. This is a creative way for students to reflect on their identities while you get to know them better. These activities are easy, engaging, and perfect for adding variety to your traditional Meet the Counselor lesson. Not only do they make your role more accessible to students, but they also set the tone for a supportive and engaging school year.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Meet The Counselor Game Show 4 Ways to Spruce Up Your Meet The Counselor Lesson - Blog   Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

Minute meetings look great on a spreadsheet. But do they actually help kids? In this episode of Graded, I dig into where this practice really came from, the myths we've built around it, and the risks nobody's talking about, and I'll share what to do instead.Minute meetings have taken on near-folklore status in school counseling. They're all over Pinterest, pushed in Facebook groups, and praised as the “must-do” way to reach every student. But here's the problem: they didn't come from research. They came from a 2011 blog post that went viral because it looked proactive and admin-friendly.I'll unpack why so many counselors have latched onto them, and the real costs hiding under the surface: wasted time, shaky privacy practices, legal risks, and the illusion of equity. Most importantly, you'll leave with stronger, evidence-backed alternatives- systematic data analysis, teacher consultation, and SEL strategies- that replace documentation theater with practices that actually change outcomes.If you've ever wondered whether minute meetings are helping or quietly hurting your program, this episode is for you.References (Annotated)American School Counselor Association. (2005). The ASCA National Model: A framework for school counseling programs (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: Author. This framework formalized the profession's shift toward “comprehensive, data-driven” programs. Its expectations created pressure on counselors to prove contact and impact—conditions that made quick-fix strategies like minute meetings appealing.Dahir, C. A., & Stone, C. B. (2006). The transformed school counselor. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole. Captures the post-ASCA Model climate of accountability and data demands. This context helps explain why counselors gravitated toward visible, trackable practices like minute meetings, even without research support.Kathuria, T., & Pandya, A. (2023).

Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools, 33(2), 1–11. https://doi.org/10.1017/jgc.2023.12 The only peer-reviewed study even remotely related to “minute meetings.” Though conducted in India and using a different model (five minutes, not one), it highlights how little empirical research exists to validate this practice in U.S. schools.Schultz, D.

Week 7 of Little Kids, Big Hearts @ Camp Sparkler is focused on feelings. We all have them — and we all can learn to identify them and manage them! Feelings are something we discuss a lot on our podcast, Little Kids, Big Hearts. In honor of this week of camp, Todd shares clips from two podcast episodes: 

Have you ever wondered why corn, beans, and squash are often grown – and cooked – together?In late summer and early fall, sweet corn, tender squash, and every kind of bean offer a special kind of abundance at our gardens and local farmers' markets. But with all that bounty, what do you actually cook?We're sharing our top 10 Three Sisters-inspired recipes, and by the end of this episode, you'll:Learn why these crops are called the “Three Sisters,” and get reliable recipes to combine all three... because “what grows together, goes together”Discover quick and easy ways to maximize all that remaining zucchini piling up, from a simple Korean side dish to a rich and nutritious bruschetta toppingFind out trusted recipes to make the most of corn while it's still here, like an irresistible soup and a weeknight chicken dinner Tune in now for peak summer flavors, comforting meals, and exciting ways to cook with beans, corn, and squash!***This week's episode is sponsored by La Baleine, makers of ancestral sea salts harvested from France.A high-quality sea salt can transform just about any dish, and finishing sea salt is one of those small touches that makes a big difference in home cooking. We love their Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel. It's harvested by hand during a few weeks each year, when the sea, air, and wind align to create the delicate “salt flower” that rises to the surface. Grab a jar of their flaky fleur de sel here, or at your local Whole Foods Market, and add a little French sparkle to your next dish.***Links:Our three sisters' episode from Season 2 with Javier Lara: The three sisters: Indigenous wisdom for growing, sharing, and home cooking squash, beans, and cornAlso from season 2, you can listen to an entire episode about Summer Corn To learn more about the three sisters, we highly recommend Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding SweetgrassCornSonya's corn soupGrilled chicken thighs and corn with...

Il y a huit mois, le 8 décembre 2024, une coalition de rebelles syriens prenait le pouvoir à Damas, mettant fin à un demi-siècle de règne de la famille Assad. Ravagée par onze ans de guerre, la Syrie d'aujourd'hui affronte d'immenses défis. Une grande partie de sa population vit en exil, notamment en Turquie, qui a accueilli jusqu'à quatre millions de réfugiés. Depuis l'instauration d'un nouveau régime à Damas, une petite partie d'entre eux a fait le choix de rentrer en Syrie. Mais la très grande majorité continue à vivre en Turquie, tiraillée entre le désir de retrouver leur pays et les doutes sur son avenir. De notre correspondante à Ankara, Cette voix rieuse au bout du fil, c'est celle de Hibe, Syrienne réfugiée en Turquie, le 8 décembre 2024, matin de la chute de Bachar el-Assad. « S'il y a quelque chose au-delà du bonheur, c'est ça que je ressens. J'ignore comment et par qui notre pays va être dirigé maintenant. Mais peu importe, puisque le tyran est parti. Nous, inch'Allah, nous allons rentrer très bientôt », espérait-elle alors. Près de huit mois plus tard, Hibe est toujours là, assise dans la cafétéria d'une clinique d'Ankara où elle vient juste d'être embauchée comme traductrice. Elle explique qu'elle est tiraillée entre son cœur qui lui dit de partir et sa tête qui lui dit de rester. « Jamais, je n'aurais imaginé qu'il serait si difficile de prendre la décision de rentrer en Syrie. Mais les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes. La Syrie n'est pas un lieu sûr. Israël a bombardé Damas, il y a eu les violences à Soueïda. Quand on voit ça, comment rentrer ? Comment rentrer avec des enfants ? La plupart des Syriens en exil pensent comme moi. Avec un groupe d'amis, on s'était dit qu'on rentrerait cet été, pendant les vacances scolaires. Finalement, personne n'est parti, à part un seul de mes amis. Il m'a appelé d'Alep l'autre jour. Il m'a dit : "Hibe, ne viens pas, surtout pas" », confie-t-elle. À Alep, où elle est née, qu'elle a quitté il y a 13 ans, Hibe n'a plus rien. Sa maison est détruite, toute sa famille a fui. En Turquie, elle a un logement, un travail et surtout deux enfants, nés et scolarisés ici. Et puis son mari, Syrien, vit en Autriche depuis trois ans. Il y a l'espoir, même très mince, qu'il parvienne à les faire venir. À 31 ans, Hibe voudrait enfin regarder devant elle. « Je suis fatiguée, j'ai l'impression que notre avenir n'a jamais été aussi incertain. Combien de fois dans une vie peut-on repartir de zéro ? », s'interroge-t-elle. Selon les autorités turques, environ 300 000 Syriens sont rentrés de leur plein gré depuis la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad, contre 2,7 millions qui vivent toujours dans le pays. Trois cent mille, c'est relativement peu, mais cela ne surprend pas Burçak Sel, cofondatrice de Dünya Evimiz, une association d'aide aux réfugiés à Ankara. « Même si la Syrie a un dirigeant et un pouvoir qui la représentent, il y a aussi un grand vide d'autorité. Le pays n'est pas sous contrôle. Les besoins élémentaires en eau, électricité, logement ne sont pas garantis. Il faudra des années pour réparer et retrouver la stabilité. Les Syriens le savent, c'est pour ça qu'ils restent en Turquie alors même que leurs conditions de vie, à cause de l'inflation et du racisme, y sont de plus en plus difficiles. » Burçak Sel estime qu'Ankara devra trouver un nouveau statut pour les Syriens qui restent, la loi actuelle ne leur accordant qu'une « protection temporaire ». C'est notamment le cas de 1,3 million d'enfants, dont l'immense majorité est née en Turquie et n'a jamais vu la Syrie.

Week 5 of Camp Sparkler is focused on using our imaginations. The host of the Little Kids, Big Hearts podcast and head counselor at Camp Sparkler, Todd Loyd, introduces the idea and shares some clips from a podcast episode focused on calming down — "Imagination Time." In the episode, three little kids with big imaginations, Shaelan, Sameia and Hunter, discuss the power of imagination with Todd, and then they journey together to the Land of Qook-a-lackas at the invitation of the Qook-a-lacka Mayor, who needs help imagining a new playground and new snacks for the Qook-a-leekies. The role of the Mayor is played by Nadiyah Dorsey, a veteran of stage and screen, who also sings the original song “You Can Use Your Imagination” that you hear in the episode. (The song was written by Benjamin Weiner, a NYC-based writer, composer, and educator.) This summer, Camp Sparkler is exploring eight different themes related to social and emotional learning (SEL).

➡️ DESCRIPTION: Aujourd'hui, je vous propose une plongée dans un concept théologique ancien, mais peu connu dans nos milieux évangéliques : la théosis, ou “déification”. Je reçois Matthias Szobody, missionnaire luthérien et auteur d'un mémoire de théologie présenté à la Faculté Jean Calvin, intitulé Philanthrōpía : la mission eucharistique de l'Église. Dans ce travail, il explore comment l'union avec le Christ transforme le croyant… mais aussi comment cette transformation devient visible dans la mission de l'Église, notamment dans sa manière d'aimer concrètement.

Back in December 2024, I got an email from Tom Rademacher raving about an upcoming book from a teacher who is now a licensed counselor that read, “The thing that hooked me when I read it the first time was a whole part on teachers recognizing their own triggers to their anger and stress and learning to understand and adapt to them... but the whole thing is gorgeous.” The author was of course my guest today, Maria Munro-Schuster, and the book, which is now in print, is The Empathetic Classroom: How A Mental Health Mindset Supports Your Students – And You, which the HRP team was more than thrilled to contribute the forward:“The Empathetic Classroom provides therapeutic self-reflection activities and prompts for educators and colleagues, the psychological theories underpinning them, guidance for applying them with students, and scalable activities for classroom implementation. Maria Munro-Schuster's call to consider the mundane over measurement is essential in improving the current state of education. This proactive approach acknowledges that we are all learners and that all of humanity has something to gain from this mission. We can create school climates that are no longer so arid that a single spark or gust of wind sets everything ablaze. If we can do this we may find that the fires are more manageable and less frequent.”Order: The Empathetic Classroom (Teacher Created Materials)

In this episode, we dive into the messy, meaningful world of social-emotional learning (SEL) and what it actually looks like in a real-life, progressive homeschool. We're not talking about boxed kindness worksheets or vague “be nice” mantras.  This is about embedding emotional growth, empathy, and self-regulation into everyday moments. We share practical examples, helpful resources, and why SEL isn't fluff… it's foundational. Whether you've got littles just learning to name their feelings or teens navigating boundaries and big decisions, there's something here for you.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Week 4 of Camp Sparkler is focused on GRATITUDE — feelings of thankfulness and appreciation for the positive people, things, and experiences in your life. Gratitude can be a big, abstract idea for most young children — but it is important! Feeling grateful can help to foster emotional well-being and resilience. Research shows that practicing gratitude can reduce stress and anxiety, improve relationships, and promote a sense of belonging.The host of the Little Kids, Big Hearts podcast and head counselor at Camp Sparkler, Todd Loyd, introduces the idea and shares some clips from a podcast episode focused on calming down — "Gratitude PowerUp with Lauren Blumenfeld."In this episode, three children (Charlie, Roxy, and Everly) discuss what gratitude means and help a Qook-a-lacka friend, Kwi-loh (played by Lauren Blumenfeld), power up the Gratitude Power Plant in the Land of Qook-a-lackas.This summer, Camp Sparkler is exploring eight different themes related to social and emotional learning (SEL).

August doesn't have to feel like a whirlwind of late nights, unlaminated posters, and cold cups of coffee. I'll share the 10 intentional steps I'm taking this summer to avoid the dreaded back-to-school chaos—and how you can do the same.From organizing your counseling office (yes, both paper files and those prehistoric Google Docs) to prepping data tools, small group plans, and even your go-to “counselor tote,” Carol walks through the exact systems and routines she's setting up now to make the start of the school year smoother and calmer.In this episode, you'll learn:How to organize your office and digital files so everything's easy to find in September.Why building a counseling calendar template now helps you feel grounded before the school year begins.The value of printing your most-used materials—like referral forms and coping tools—in bulk before the rush hits.How to map out small groups, classroom lessons, and SEL initiatives for the year in advance.What to pack in your Counselor Go Bag so you're ready for anything.Why updating your bulletin boards, décor, and intro lessons early makes your life so much easier.And most importantly, how to fill your own cup first so you're not running on empty when the students return.Plus, I'm sharing details about my upcoming session, “Putting Out Fires All Day: From Crisis Response to Proactive Programming,” at the 2025 Summer Counselor Conference—the perfect chance to fill your cup with inspiration and practical tools.Because a little prep now?

Week 3 of Camp Sparkler is focused on CALMING DOWN — strategies people can use to regulate their big feelings. The host of the Little Kids, Big Hearts podcast, Todd Loyd, introduces the idea and shares some clips from a podcast episode focused on calming down — "The Key to Calming Down." In the episode, three kids (Charlie, Katrina, and Sienna) join Todd to share tips and tricks they use to calm down — which come in handy when they're experiencing big feelings. The kids and Todd then take a journey to the Land of Qook-a-lakcas to visit Todd's friend Quinlan who invited the group to become the first humans ever to attend Camp Quinder-Calm! The role of Quinlan is played by Rebecca Naomi Jones. The original song, “I Have the Key,” which Quinlan shares with the children in the Land of Qook-a-lackas, was composed by Benjamin Weiner, a NYC-based writer, composer, and educator. This summer, Camp Sparkler is exploring eight different themes related to social and emotional learning (SEL).

EPISODE: Virginia Tech Is Tackling the Opioid Epidemic with Evidence-Based Practices | Featuring: Shannon Rogers Simpson, VT Extension – Halifax County Topic: What Is Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Why It MattersSEL, or Social Emotional Learning, is the process through which individuals—especially children and youth—learn how to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, maintain healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. It's not just for schools—these are life skills we all need to navigate trauma, conflict, grief, addiction, and daily challenges. That's why Virginia Tech, through its Cooperative Extension arm, is prioritizing SEL in places like Halifax County—where the opioid crisis has deeply impacted families. VT is equipping educators, parents, and community members with free, research-backed tools; collecting real-time data to inform better programs; and building resilience from the ground up—not just treating symptoms, but shifting systems.Shawn A. Barksdale credits his progress in community and reentry spaces to the one-on-one training and mentorship he's received from Shannon Rogers Simpson. Her guidance in SEL, ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and Botvin Parenting skills has allowed Shawn to implement evidence-based programs in correctional institutions—building trust, capturing powerful data, and helping returning citizens gain the emotional tools they need to succeed. That impact is growing—and so is the COPE Project's reach.We know many of you won't “like” or “share” this post—but you are reading. You are watching. And you are listening.

Do you feel like your home energy often mirrors your teen's mood—and not in a good way? What if you could shift the atmosphere in your home without saying a word? In this episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with Lisa Danahy, yoga therapist and founder of the nonprofit Create Calm, about how moms can bring more peace and regulation into their homes—and themselves. With decades of experience in education and yoga-based therapy, Lisa explains the role of the autonomic nervous system and the vagus nerve in our stress responses, and why physical practices—not just mental strategies—are the key to resetting our emotional states. She offers practical techniques like “Yoga Jacks,” “Washing Machine Twists,” and a rhythmic finger-tapping affirmation practice that moms can use to regulate themselves—and invite their teens to join. They also dive into the power of co-regulation, why mindfulness isn't about control, and how big energy doesn't have to lead to big drama. Lisa Danahy (C-IAYT, YACEP, MS) is a powerful educator and entrepreneur. Her non-profit, Create Calm, has facilitated cultural shifts and deep healing for thousands of students, teachers, and families in hundreds of schools and community organizations across the country since 2016. With an MS in Yoga Therapy and BA in Psychology, over 30 years as a school administrator and SEL curriculum developer, and certification as an advanced educator and trainer, Lisa is highly skilled at creating accessible, evidence-based, successful curricula for behavioral and emotional regulation, as well as physical and mental health. She is the author of Creating Calm in Your Classroom. Key Takeaways: Your calm is contagious. You don't need to fix your teen's mood. When you regulate yourself first—through breath, movement, or mindfulness—you model what emotional balance looks like and help them get there too. Energy is meant to move. Whether it's stress, anxiety, or frustration, Lisa offers easy movement practices like “Washing Machine Twists” that help shift big energy safely out of the body. Start where you are. You don't need a yoga mat or a quiet room. Mindful movements and breath can happen in the kitchen, before you walk in the house, or alongside your dysregulated teen—with or without their participation.

Mary welcomes back Alex Newman to chat about what everyone already knows: events in this world continue to highlight the traps of technology that can change day to day happenings into the stuff of dystopian nightmares. I think we all know that tech is neutral - but the potential for misuse and abuse in the hands of evil men is off the charts. Our phones already track us but we just pull the covers up over our ears and hope for rest. Truth is, we have every right to believe there are monsters under the bed who wish us harm, especially when we're not being watchful. We also discuss the Deep State and the tentacles of the Federal Reserve. When the wealthiest in the world gathered at Jekyll Island, Georgia for many winters in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, their goal was to build a banking cartel impervious to bank panics and bank runs. Long after they are dead and buried, the legacy lives on as the Federal Reserve continues to control and manipulate US finances. Where are we at with their influence today? Then we look at SEL in the schools, Social Emotional Learning - its occultic roots and how it's making global citizens out of our youngsters. A fascinating hour with Alex.

What if the magic in parenting doesn't happen in the moment you get it right, but in the moment you come back and repair? This week, I talk with educator, children's book author, and Self-led parent Anna Purpero, and I just loved this conversation so much. Anna has two little boys and a big heart, and she shares so honestly about what happens when our protectors take over in parenting and how IFS helped her find a new way forward. We talk about: What happens in our bodies when our kids fight (and why we feel like we're in danger) Why repair — not perfection — is the real magic The power of separating “who I am” from “what I do” in parenting and beyond How Anna uses playful language like “my volcano's bubbling up” to talk to her kids about parts Why naming a part doesn't mean avoiding responsibility...it helps kids (and grownups) take more Why real apologies only come after shame has lifted How her creative work flowed from her own healing Anna's book My Friends Inside is just beautiful. It's one of those books that speaks to kids and to the little ones inside us. The language is simple, the illustrations are gorgeous, and the heart behind it? So, so good. Anna recorded a special reading of her book just for our community and Jeff added page spreads to create a whole little experience out of it. You can find that for free exclusively on Substack. Come meet your parts and maybe a few new friends inside. About Anna: Anna Purpero is an educator and children's book author based in Columbus, OH, where she lives with her partner, Jordan, and their two sons (ages 4 and 6).

She is currently building on her education, including SEL coursework from Fresno Pacific University and training through the Self-Leadership Collaborative.
