We’ve been doing a LOT of traveling lately, and one of the best parts has been getting to meet school counselors from different states, different districts, and very different school settings.
And while there are definitely some differences across the country, we’ve also noticed something pretty interesting: school counseling has a whole lot in common no matter where you are.
In this episode, we’re sharing 5 (maybe 6!) things we’ve observed through our travels: from differences in 504 caseloads and counselor pay to the increase in student behaviors and the challenges counselors are facing every day.
Some things look very different depending on where you live. Some things are surprisingly similar. And some things have us saying, “Oh, y’all are dealing with that too?!”
But there is one thing that hasn't changed no matter what state we’re in:
We LOVE school counselors.
We love getting to meet counselors who are doing this work in big schools, small schools, rural schools, suburban schools, and everywhere in between. We love hearing what’s working, what’s hard, and what counselors are figuring out as the job continues to change.
So come along with us as we share What We’ve Learned Through Our Travels- the similarities, the differences, the surprises, and a whole lot of love for the counselors doing the work every single day.
