Reaching every student through individual planning, responsive services and classroom instruction is our work. When school counseling is organized and implemented as a program, it places school counselors at the center of education, making it possible for them to contribute directly and substantially to their local school and district. - Dr. Norm Gysbers

BE COURAGEOUS Just the words yet or not yet, we re finding, give kids greater confidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence. And we can actually change students mindsets. In one study, we taught them that every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new and difficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, and over time they can get smarter. -Dr. Carol Dweck

BE COURAGEOUS Words have power - to uplift or to tear down - to inspire or to incite - to heal or to hurt - to create or destroy. Words define our reality - for better or for worse. - BJ Gallagher Those kids. These are my least favorite two words in the entire English language. They are words that categorize kids into groups. They could refer to students with disabilities or students of poverty. They could be students who recently immigrated into the country and have limited English language skills. They are sometimes bullies. They might be behaviorally challenged kids. Or, they could just be misbehaving students. The words are exclusionary. They are limiting and certainly not solution oriented.
