With 28 years experience as an elementary school counselor (& a decade as elementary art educator), 3 decades a mother, 5 years a grandmother and over 6 decades on this earth, I've managed to accumulate quite a bag of "tricks" (aka lessons and activities) that I love to share with my students and colleagues on their own learning and growing journeys. And now with you all!
My style is all about building relationship and trust. I believe that when educators form strong, trusting, nurturing relationships with students, a solid foundation is being built from which that student will learn and grow. Not coincindentally, unexpected behaviors begin to dwindle as a sense of belonging and self worth begin to grow.
