Foundations
The document attached is part of a training that was taken during my internship. It is personal SEL reflection that helps school counselors know where there strengths are and the areas they may need to work on. School counselors help establish the foundation of the school counseling program and I would venture to say that they themselves are the foundation of the school counseling program.

Counseling Prevention & Intervention
In this document, I outlined the goals of the session with the student, understanding that the session may take on a form of its own. In this particular session, I used solution-focused brief therapy techniques where the student identified emotions through a game we played. We both rolled a larger dice that had emotions on them and identified a time in our lives where we felt that emotion. We expanded our emotional vocabulary and worked on a "calm down plan" worksheet where we brainstormed positive coping techniques for when we are upset. The student also utilized a journal.
In the journal, the student would write down any negative or long lasting thoughts that was upsetting. With every negative emotion or thought the student will say something positive. After they write down the negative thought, the student will cross it out after they expresses a positive thought.

Diversity & Advocacy
The lesson plan attached discusses the story called "the kings garden". In this lesson plan, the students learn
to recognize and appreciate the differences in themselves and others. I read the book to the students and then the students filled out a worksheet called "I am unique" where they wrote down things that make them special. The students shared with each other at least one thing that makes them unique and then we wrapped up the lesson by making "I am" positive statements.

Assessment
The attached document shows a pre/post assessment that I created in order to gather data for students on social/emotional development. The small group focused on self-esteem & social skills and was designed/ created for the Kindergartner who is unable to read. We completed the pre/post assessments together in small group so there was no confusion as to what it was asking.

Research & Evaluation
The attached powerpoint provides an overview of the study skills lesson plan implemented at the high school level. Within this power point there is a slide that shows an existing platform utilized by the school called schoology. Schoology houses grades and provides communication between staff/students and parents/ school. Through this platform, I was able to gather enough data to show the need for a study skills lesson plan at the 9th & 10th grade level.

Leadership
Attached is a handwritten schedule for a day in my lower school internship. As seen by the attachment, I was servicing students throughout the day and observing behaviors for other students who may or may not need services. I created this list in order to better guide my day as well as provide students with the best support. I collaborated with my site supervisor, parents and teachers so individual session could occur in the future and so students could be successful in multiple areas of their school and academic careers.

Scrip-Core
In internship 1, my site supervisor filled out a disposition assessment about my time in the schools. The dispositions includes the following fields: social responsibility, commitment, reflective practice, integrity, and professionalism. There was a rating scale from 0 (no evidence) to 3 (Met-advanced). I received advanced for all dispositions and felt that I was able to effectively display these important dispositions.
