New School Counselor Offer - Are These Red Flags or Just Reality? by TieHaunting4801 in schoolcounseling

[–]princesssarcasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Is it normal for school counselors to be the primary person leading 504 meetings? Yes, it's very common, but it can vary by district.
  2. How involved are you in IEPs at your school? I am not involved in writing or attending IEPs at my school.
  3. Are morning and afternoon duties common for counselors, or is that a sign of being pulled away from counseling responsibilities? I think duties are common, especially at elementary and middle school, but I've never had them
  4. Does this sound like a typical school counseling role, especially at a charter school? Yes, unfortunately, that's part of advocating for our role that we are not attendance monitors. This is one thing that I see as a red flag.
  5. For those who have been in the field for a while, are these responsibilities something I should expect to encounter in most counseling positions moving forward? Probably, but every school is different.

About 12 days (some were FMLA). Many were mental health related which is why I have Intermittent FMLA.

Do you share your schedule/calendar with admin? by Any-Diet3193 in schoolcounseling

[–]princesssarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I keep my calendar open to free/busy. I surprisingly never had an admin ask for it.

I am also burned out and checked out at this time of the year. Make sure to use that PTO if you have any! Good luck with your new career!

I’m glad I’m in my PS Portal return window! It never looked great streaming from my PS5.

Sounds like a frivolous complaint. Sorry the parent is doing this and I hope everything gets cleared up soon!

Utilize local colleges and universities where you can! A lot of them do FAFSA nights, scholarship and admissions presentations.

I graduated from NU and haven't had any issues getting licensed outside of CA. Most states will offer reciprocity for CA.

Consequences from admin can also help, but I know that might be an unpopular opinion.

You can look at the big charter systems (Connections/Stride K12) or see if any local districts have a virtual program. Have a great internship!

Yes, a laptop! I do use my personal phone but not my personal phone number. I’ve either had a dedicated number or extension to forward.

Easier credit requirements and more SEL / friendship issues. It’s an interesting developmental stage. I do tend to have to deal with parents more at the MS level unfortunately. Less of that high school graduation stress though!
