Let’s talk about a really common challenge that we face as high school counselors. It’s a challenge that often leaves us feeling defeated and put under a whole lot of (sometimes self-inflicted) pressure. Can you guess what it is? I’m talking about working with failing students.

We all have these students on our caseloads. They are the students who are behind in their classes, short on the credits they need to graduate, and reluctant to trust that we want to help them.

And yet, our failing students are also the ones who we get to know the best after earning their trust. We push them because we want to see them succeed, and it’s the best feeling in the world when they do. But let’s be real. This is tough work. Sometimes it feels like you’re fighting an uphill battle and that you’re the only one who cares. 

If you’re feeling that way about some of your students, let’s change that today! Inside this episode you’ll hear my top three suggestions for helping your failing students find success. After listening, I think you’ll realize that you are doing more than enough, my friend!
