Your school’s administration can make all the difference in your job satisfaction as a high school counselor. The experience you have in your role might look very different depending on whether or not you feel supported by your current admin. If you’re currently in a place where you don’t feel supported, this episode will be an encouragement to you that it doesn’t have to be like that!
I’m excited to welcome one of the principals I have worked with in the past, Mr. Eric Williams, on the podcast. He is a former principal and current district office employee who is here to share all about his experiences working with school counselors throughout his career in education.
We get into so many great topics, such as the shift from reactive to proactive counseling, the value of strong school counseling teams, and the importance of having supportive administrators. Mr. Williams even gives us his perspective on what administrators look for when hiring a school counselor and offers advice for principals and counselors on how to work together effectively. We also discuss the importance of career readiness and the need to shift the focus from college as the default pathway to celebrating all post-graduation plans.
