ELL reclassification

by Cal-Kid

Jan 8, 2018

In my former district the rules for being designated out of the bilingual program were Level 4 or Level on the CELDT test, grade "C" or better in English, "C" or better in other core classes. The final decision was up to the English teacher to sign the district level documents that the child could be mainstreamed out of the program. I never had an ...See More

anam Hello, I have used personality test at my internship (I intern as a school counselor at a charter high school). It is really cool to see that some students find out things about themselves. It is also helpful because you better understand the student. Along with this, you know how to better approach the student in good and tough situations. This is...See More

Advice from working counselors

by BernR6

Hello, I'm looking to get advice from individuals already working as school counselors. I live in PA with my wife and 3 y/o daughter.

My wife has been trying to get a school counselor job for the past 5 years, since obtaining her Master's. She has had no luck, except for a job fair she attended a month ago. She was offered an open contract for a school counselor position in Jacksonville Florida.

We've tried to weigh the pros and cons. Making a move will take us from family, I'll need to find a new job, put off going back to school, etc. However, my wife will get her foot in the door. We live in the suburbs of Philly at the moment. Our area is flooded with colleges/school counselor programs and applicants. It feels that it's impossible for my wife to even get her resume looked at, despite the hundreds of applications a year she's been submitting. Is this the nature of the employment situation for this type of work? Is there any hope of obtaining a job, or is it all internal candidates?

The reason I ask, is because I'm willing leave PA so that my wife can pursue her dream. We just want to make sure we're making the best decision for her and our family. Would getting her foot in the door at a school in Florida, better her chances of getting another job if we moved back in the future? I understand no one will have a definite answer, but any advice would be helpful.

My wife was a teacher for 5 years, then has been working in psych. for the last 10 years, and currently a weekend director of a residential pscyh. program. She's an instructor of CPI (crisis prevention) for her company, as well as a certified DBT specialist. She's highly qualified (IMO) and would make a great counselor, but hasn't figured out how to even stand out. She also talked about getting other certifications to help herself be more marketable. It really comes down to picking up and moving to Florida (as this is her only offer), or stay here and hope something works out. Sorry for the long book. This decision has been stressing us out, as we are in the process of selling our house (originally to live with family so I could go back to school). Any advice on this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

Bernie
