For more informati...See MoreI wrote the Kelly Bear Feelings books for 3 to 9 year old children. However, I have had middle school counselors tell me that they have used it during individual counseling with this type of student.
They report reading the pages and answering the questions themselves. Soon the student requests a turn to talk.
Try asking him to tell you a story about a school kid who... Or have him draw some pics to tell his story. Don't ask questions while he is doing either one. When you do ask don't do him directly. I wonder if this boy thinks...
When you turn the other cheek, you are not necessarily expected to be passive in any situation, or even to simply refrain from violence. So...[Click below to read the rest.]
I understand that I am a mandated reporter regarding child abuse and if a student is going to harm themselves or someone else. But, what if a student who is saying that they have been sexually active recently but not any longer? It is my understanding that unless they are a harm to someone else or to them self, I do not need to report'?

Description: What can schools do to grow peaceful communities? What do you say if your child tells you they are being teased? What skills can you teach them at home to be more assertive?
With the growing challenges of bullying in public schools and the recent school shootings parents and teachers are coming together to find real lasting solutions. They want to unite their communities to give their children more–not only protecting them from harm, but giving them life-long skills that support social and emotional development and ultimately, happy fulfilling lives.
Maria Montessori looked deeply into the hearts and minds of children and discovered the child. Our professional development webinar provides expertise from a Montessori teacher and a parent coach. They will share rich resources to help you become more effective in dealing with bullying and issues of self-esteem. Find out more about what children need to grow in a healthy ways and to take ownership of their school community.
Includes Power Point Presentation plus additional handouts: Ways to Deflect Teasing, Actions that Build Self-Esteem and Parent Tips on Bullying.

I am at the point where I must choose between elementary and secondary, and I am having a difficult time. I have taught for nine years--four years of middle school, one year of high school, three years of intermediate (5th & 6th), and one year of elementary. I have literally taught at every grade level, which is why I'm having such a difficult time deciding! I have a background as a Gifted & Talented Specialist, which required that I administer and score assessments such as the CogAT and ITBS. I actually enjoyed that aspect of it, which makes me think high school might be a good fit for me. I really enjoy the personalities at the middle school level. I love the HUGS from elementary kiddos (but I'm a little nervous about the parents!) Any suggestions? I have shadowed counselors at each level, and it only made me more confused! Does anyone have any advice? Any websites or blogs you can recommend to help me get an idea of what a "typical" day at each level would be like? Anything you hate or love about your job? Thanks!
Everyone perceives your job as all personal and college counseling. In fact most of your time is spent on state testing. You are either ordering, receiving, training, retesting, or administering the tests. Or, you are preparing or unloading boxes for the tests, sharpening pencils, making signs, assigning rooms. Or, you are receiving, sorting, posting, mailing or discussing test results. Elementary also administers the test, but not nearly as many times or with as many retests, etc. Elementary is a lot of classroom presentations. You actually get to see students. Generally, you don't have pregnancies or suicide threats in elementary.

I just posted a new cartoon that covers bullying and self- esteem for all grade levels. It's about 6 minutes long. Any feedback to improve it greatly appreciated!
