I have added and changed some of the following forms. Please visit my TpT store to see the new and revised forms.
There are days/weeks that I feel like I am juggling a million things as a school counselor. I have been looking for a system that will help me balance all of the facets of the job. Below are some things I am currently using to help with this task. I am constantly tweaking the organizational things that I use, but these things have helped me tremendously.
Inside:
Lesson Plans: I wanted to have a place where I could see my whole week's worth of lessons for Group Counseling, Individual Counseling, and Classroom Guidance. This is what I have come up with.
This has been one of the best things I have done! I type on mine and print it after I have planned for the
week. Scroll to the bottom of this post for the documents.
This is an ongoing list of students I see throughout the day. I jot them down because I get very busy but then can go back and make more detailed notes if needed.
This is the log that I currently use.
I keep track of any communication I have with Parents/Guardians.
I have ABC tabs that I keep these sheets in for quick and easy access.
This is the form from my district that I am currently using but will probably tweak it.
I am also planning on adding a more detailed notes page for students who I see more frequently or need more notes on. I am working on this and will post it when I am finished with it.
If you are interested in copies of any or all of my forms (some have been updated), please visit my TpT store.
Do you have a Counseling Notebook? If so, how do you organize it?
Hi! I absolutely love your organization! I am a first year middle school counselor in Florida, and I am continually looking for new ways to keep track of all the different aspects of my job. I'd love electronic copies of these papers, if you don't mind!
