Happy Counselor's Week! We are so thankful for Mrs. Leathers! @MatthewBerry1WC

Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI 1. Diversity Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed. You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain. 1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.

I had a great time keynoting, presenting and meeting some amazing school counselors at the NYSSCA Conference! I lived in Albany, NY for a year in 2001 and was happy to come back! #itneverfails #scchat #edchat

I can’t wait to speak at the @myMSCA #MSCA23 Fall Conference!!!

The policies we create as a school district directly relate to the safety of our students. Not ALL students who are LGBTQIA are out. They are listening and watching to determine if they have the courage to be who they are in our schools. #scchat #LGBTQIA #EveryStudent #EveryDay

Who needs to hear this? Let me say it again. “School Counselors’ work involves way more than just schedule changes and consoling crying students.” Additionally, I will say doing lunch duty. #scchat

Visited @rockwoodschools Ridge Meadows Elementary today & they are truly embracing diverse learning needs! 👏 I spotted several examples of sensory items available in the hallway creating a welcoming environment for all students. #InclusiveEducation #DiverseLearning 📚✨" #scchat

Welcoming #GratefulFriYay with open arms! As the week comes to a close, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the blessings that surround me. ❤️ From the support of colleagues to opportunities for growth. What are you grateful for on this #GratefulFriYay? @rockwoodschools #scchat

AI is obviously a detriment to social justice. It lessens human connections. However, I think we will have to figure out ways to leverage it for the non counseling duties. Which I think will leave a lot of counselors who have been acting as guidance counselors in the dust.
