Often throughout American history former refugees rise to be community leaders dedicating their lives to helping others. Refugees often overcome key obstacles including language and culture to become important activists addressing social and political problems. Refugees offer key perspectives on the application of civic virtues and human rights. In this lesson students will hear from three refugee students about their experiences. Then, students will be asked to:Identify and describe obstacles student refugees encounter while assimilating at school.Identify reasons why refugees go on to develop a strong sense of civic duty and desire to give back to their communities. Research and identify ways they can take civic action to build a better community.

ObjectivesBy the end of this session, we will be able to:● Partner with administrators to develop a realistic,scaffolded action plan for beginning to align CSCPstaff use of time with 5030 and the ASCA NationalModel● Consider how the CSCP will begin to shift this yearto incorporate preventative, proactive,developmentally appropriate Tier 1 activities for ALLstudents

Intergenerational Stories
A Lesson Developed and Contributed by Christine Hennig, MA, LMHP, ATR With a Link to Copyrighted Dick Blick Lesson Plan “Home Town Map” www.DickBlick.com

Objectives (Elders):
1. To encourage reminiscence, which has been shown to be beneficial for elders

2. To increase feelings of self-worth by discovering that elders have interesting stories to tell about their lives

3. To increase feelings of self-worth by passing on their wisdom to young people

4. To brighten moods through contact with young people

Objectives (Children):
1. To bring history lessons they may have learned in school to life through contact with people who have “lived it”

2. To encourage respect for elders by discovering what they have lived through and learned from their experiences

3. To increase tolerance for disability and aging

Audiences:
This is a project to complete with a small group of elderly people plus a small group of school-aged children. It is recommended that you have group facilitators for both the elders and the children (i.e., at least two—one for the elders and one for the children). Elders should be high-functioning and be able to tell their stories. Elders with mild dementia, but still good long-term memories, can be involved if there is extra staff or volunteers available to work one-on-one with them and the children to encourage and guide.

This module will provide tips for getting started with the work of aligning CSCP practitioner time with the 80/20 model described in Washington SB 5030: Comprehensive  School Counseling Programs, with emphasis on intentionally considering how to be both efficient and effective with 100% of our time. By the end of this module, learners will be able to: Define "direct services" and "indirect services" and provide appropriate examples of each Analyze their use of time related to direct/indirect services, system supports, fair share, and non-counseling activities Develop efficient and effective work schedules that align to the 80/20 model Share time analysis results with their adminstrator as an advocacy tool to move their CSCP in the direction of the ASCA National Model

In this training, participants are provided a walk-through of completing the self-assessment, transition plan, and/or CSCP

All comprehensive school counseling programs include Tier 1 supports - provided within the larger context of a schoolwide MTSS - to promote students' academic, social/emotional, and college/career development. Join us to explore what Tier 1 truly means for CSCPs and learn how to assess your site’s school counseling Tier 1 implementation.Learning Objectives:(1) Explore ways to thoughtfully consider how to deliver Tier 1 school counseling supports that ensure ALL students gain the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to be successful(2) Learn strategies to assess our current level of implementation and make plans for strengthening the Tier 1 school counseling program, in partnership with administrators.

One of the highest impact strategies for aligning to 5030 and the ASCA National Model is partnering with administrators around CSCP staff’s use of time. Join us for expert tips, tools, and recommendations for time analysis and planning through an equity lens.
