I have met with all my assigned Seniors a couple of times already to discuss post-secondary plans. I feel really good about those meetings. I have started four-year planning with my Freshmen. Boy, those take more time that I had imagined! But, I don't mind at all because it's exciting!
Now, I want to get started on meeting with the Juniors and Sophomores. To do this I have planned to do Minute Meetings (an idea from Andrea Burston's http://jyjoynercounselor.blogspot.com/ and Danielle Shultz http://www.schcounselor.com/ blogs). I have created a couple of different Google Docs for the minute meetings. I have made adjustments, changes, additions, etc. I plan to meet with the students during their study halls and it's exciting to be able to introduce myself and meet with them individually!
The forms are very similar but I did make another form for Juniors that I will somehow incorporate with the original Junior form. The second Junior form is more of a to do list for the summer for them and a checklist/starting point for me for when they return as Seniors.
Here are the forms I plan on using:
Sophomore:
Junior:
Junior Check In:
I can't wait to get started!
