Shownotes

As school counselors, we often find ourselves reacting to emergencies rather than proactively helping our students. But what if I told you that your work calendar could be the key to shifting from a responsive service to a proactive one?

Inside this episode, I'm sharing how my counseling team and I used our digital calendar to collect data and advocate for changes in our department. With these changes, we were able to get a better handle on how we were spending our time. This allowed us to plan ahead and even advocate for changes like running small groups and doing classroom lessons on topics that students truly needed.

The key takeaway? Don't underestimate the power of your work calendar. It could be one of your greatest advocacy tools! By collecting calendar data and examining your time, you can create a stronger case for the things you want to be doing and advocate for your role as a school counselor.
