Mentorship Presentation
We were approached by the Administration at Burris Laboratory School to create a mentor training presentation for teachers at the school. The administration identified students who were at risk academically and socially and created a mentor program. We provided a presentation including many aspects of a mentor/mentee relationship. This included discussing confidentiality, steps for success and resources teachers could use with their mentees.

Group Letter to Parents
This letter was sent to parents of students who were identified as needing some additional support with test-taking skills. We sent this letter home to parents two-weeks before the beginning of the first group counseling meeting. We received all of the permission slips back and the group was successful.
Email to Teachers
Skillstreaming is a program that the school counselor's delivered to students in K-8. Each week we sent a reminder email to the parents to remind them we were coming to their classroom on a specific day and time. We made sure to include that if teachers needed anything changed they could email us and we would arrange a different time. Teachers reported that this was very helpful for them as they have busy schedules. It also increased our level of communication with teachers in elementary and middle school.
