Nancy Langberg Bio
Hi! I’m Nancy Langberg, and I’m passionate about supporting the academic, social, and emotional growth of students as an aspiring school counselor. My 10 year career in education is driven by a deep belief in fostering intellectual development alongside emotional resilience and well-being. As I transition into school counseling, I am dedicated to helping students navigate their challenges with confidence, empathy, and self-awareness.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Development, a Master's Degree in Education Leadership, and I will be completing my Master's Degree in School Counseling this spring.
On a personal note, I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful boys who are the loves of my life. We’re also proud beekeepers!
I look forward to connecting with fellow counselors, educators, and professionals who share my passion for holistic student development and emotional health. Together, we can shape a compassionate, resilient generation of students.

FOUNDATIONS
In this 661 Benchmark PowerPoint assignment, I was to gather data from students and teachers concerning students' mindsets. Based on this data, I designed a data-driven program to improve student outcomes. The ASCA National Model guided me as the school counselor to make sure my program was based on data and was developmentally appropriate and focused on the mindsets and behaviors the targeted students needed for success.

COUNSELING PREVENTION & INTERVENTION
As showcased in this COSC 692 Benchmark assignment, I provided small group counseling to 6th grade girls who were demonstrating a need for a positive leadership group. This group was developed based on the needs assessment and data received from the teachers, counselors, and social worker as both a prevention and intervention. Throughout our time together, we worked on developing self-awareness, sensitivity to others, and the ability to relate to others who are different from us.
You will see in my presentation that the group was very engaged and the outcome data proved that the group was successful in achieving the measured goal. Please also see photos of our time together.

DIVERSITY & ADVOCACY
In this 611 diversity and transitions presentation, you will see that I demonstrated multicultural competencies in relation to diversity, equity, and post-secondary opportunities. As school counselors we have an ethical responsibility to ensure all students and families have access to
culturally appropriate interventions, including transition programs that prepare students for postsecondary planning. In this presentation I demonstrated the ability to design and implement a transition program that increased the number of students engaged in formal postsecondary participation (including college, tradeschools, job training, apprenticeships, formal school-to-work programs, etc.) Enjoy!

ASSESSMENT
This is the COSC 622 test critique assignment where we learned how counselors must evaluate instruments when selecting which assessment strategies to use. Counselors must be able to evaluate the appropriateness of using an assessment in a comprehensive manner. I demonstrated my ability to apply the established guidelines used by professionals to evaluate the appropriateness of using an assessment. As a result of this assignment, I learned how to select appropriate assessment strategies that can be used to evaluate a student's academic, career, and social/emotional development.

RESEARCH & EVALUATION
In this COSC 661 Benchmark Data Presentation, I learned that sharing data is an excellent advocacy tool for the counseling profession. Announcing data to stakeholders will demonstrate the impact of the school counselor on closing achievement and opportunity gaps in the school system. Demonstrating that we as counselors can analyze and use data to enhance the counseling program strengthens our support.

ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT
This is the COSC 661 ASCA-aligned classroom guidance lesson plan presentation on the impact of having a positive mindset on a students academic, career, and social/emotional well-being. As a school counselor, we must be familiar with the 3 developmental domains: academic, career and social-emotional as well as classroom management strategies to effectively deliver the lesson. We must implement differentiated instructional strategies to ensure that every student can learn, and every student can succeed. Enjoy!

COLLABORATION & CONSULTATION
As school counselors we must recognize our duty to collaborate with parent/ guardians when providing services to minorstudents in schools. We must inform parents/guardians of the mission of the school counseling program as well as academic, career, andsocial/ emotional program standards that promote and enhance learning for all students. In this COSC 661 Brochure assignment, you will see this is an effective way to inform stakeholders of the services our comprehensive school counseling program offers. It is also an excellent advocacy tool for our program. Enjoy!

LEADERSHIP
This is my COSC 692 Psycho-educational small group proposal completed at my practicum site. I designed, implemented, managed, and evaluated a positive girls' leadership small group. In collaboration with stakeholders, we identified
achievement gaps and needs. I gained competency in locating existing data from the school report card and behavior data sources. I obtained parent/guardian consent, and worked in collaboration with other counselors and teachers to support the psycho-educational group. Each session was aligned with ASCA's Mindsets & Behaviors and an evaluation was conducted upon completion, demonstrating success of measured goal.

SCRIP-CORE
Because of my international background and experiences I have been able to make connections with all students. I am growing in my ability to be cognizant of the ethical and legal implications as well as the cultural sensitivities that need to be considered when interacting with our students.
I have been a part of developing an intervention plan for a 5th grade student who was struggling academically and with their attendance. I have helped develop the appropriate group and classroom strategies as well as connecting with parents to help support and include them.
I have helped our team develop our annual student outcome goal and our closing the achievement gap goal. During the developmental phase of these documents we looked at student assessment data, attendance, and behavior referrals to determine what we should focus on this year and how we are planning to support our students.

Internships FES and Reflection
Prompt #1 – Counseling at the elementary and secondary levels has deepened my understanding of the diverse needs of K–12 students, including those with exceptionalities. At the elementary level, I learned the importance of early intervention, play-based strategies, and the close collaboration I had with families. My work with middle school students highlighted the complexity of adolescent identity development and the increasing need for individual mental health support. Assisting with college and career readiness was a big portion of the day. These experiences helped me recognize how students’ needs evolve over time and how critical it is to tailor interventions, including those with giftedness or disabilities. In order to create opportunities that were adapted to diverse learners, I used data to identify students' unique needs, I collaborated with teachers and families to develop tailored support plans, and I offered differentiated interventions such as small groups and one-on-one counseling. My classroom guidance lessons were also adapted for various learning styles.
Prompt #2 – Over the course of my internships, I learned to understand the importance of allowing space for students to share their religious and spiritual beliefs. I never asked but I fostered a respectful, inclusive environment that honored the diverse backgrounds of all my students. I actively listened to students' perspectives, was culturally competent, and avoided assumptions and judgments about their beliefs. Through ongoing professional development and self-reflection, I am committed to staying informed and mindful of the role spirituality and religious beliefs may play in my students' lives so I can support them holistically.
Prompt #3 – I found it critically important to seek support and include families in the counseling process at the elementary level. This strengthened the connection between home and school and helped to build that trust and support needed to truly help the child. I gained valuable insight into students' backgrounds, values, and experiences, which helped tailor the support to meet the needs of the child. I called parents often and encouraged collaboration so they took an active role in their child's education and well-being. At the middle school level, we did not collaborate with families once. I was not there for very long but the counselor I worked with did not make it a habit to call parents for collaboration. The needs of the students she was working with were confidential and the student never wanted their family to know.
Prompt #4 - Interning as a school counselor significantly strengthened my professional identity by providing hands-on experience and practice. Through direct work with students, families, and school staff, I developed confidence in my counseling skills and gained a deeper understanding of my role as a school counselor. Supervision I had during the internships offered opportunities for self-reflection, feedback, and professional growth, helping me improve my counseling skills.
Collaboration and consultation significantly enhanced the effectiveness of student support I could offer. The diverse perspectives and expertise were integral. Working with teachers, administrators, and families allowed me to develop a more comprehensive understanding of students’ needs so I could design interventions that were more targeted and impactful. Collaboration allowed us to be consistent in our interventions. I found these partnerships to be absolutely key when supporting my students.
