Brickle, Farrell, Repman 1
I. Introduction:
Our school counseling program at Albert Leonard Middle School will encompass the
social/emotional, academic and career readiness needs of students with the implementation of an
in depth action plan. This plan reflects updated data from ongoing annual assessments that reflect
each of these domains. By ensuring this accountability within the school counseling department,
the students can feel a connection to the counselors. This strong connection can encourage the
students to utilize these services which will aid in making their academic journeys healthy and
productive. As role models, the counselors serve as constant support for the students by
advocating for them in an honest and empathetic way. Our comprehensive school counseling
plan is aligned with the standards and student competencies developed by the American School
Counselor Association for academic, personal/social, and career development, as well as the
National Model and the New York State Social Emotional Learning Benchmarks.

C. Rationale for school counseling program:
The rationale for this comprehensive counseling program was created in response to a
need for social emotional learning, created by the pandemic and the shift to online learning. The
social emotional, academic and career readiness domains were effected greatly and that is why
this counseling program would advocate for change in these areas by creating workshops that
deal with cyber bullying, sexual harrassment, child abuse (emotional and physical) and academic
achievement. One of the biggest problems we believe in education today is putting limits or caps
on what children can achieve. There are so many parent’s that say “My child will never go to
college or my child will never become a CEO”. This is a terrible mindset to have and needs to be
changed, by allowing EXPOSURE to every student in order for them to flourish and succeed in
any life path they so choose. Albert Leonard Middle School follows the ethical standards of the
American School Counselor Association by ensuring that students have a safe academic
environment. It is the ethical duty of a school counselor to ensure that the school is a bullying
and harassment free zone (American School Counselor Association, 2016). Our program is
delivered through direct and indirect services which consist of the following components:
School Counse ling Curriculum, individual planning, one on one counseling, group counseling,
responsive services and system support.
II. Foundation:
A.District Mission Statement:
MISSION: The City School District of New Rochelle is committed to fostering a safe
environment and providing a high-quality education that is authentic, inclusive, collaborative,
and prepares the whole child to engage in a diverse world. https://www.nred.org/
B. Mission Statement of Albert Leonard Middle School :
Albert Leonard Middle School wants to create an equitable environment that focuses on
racial and ethical diversity. Allowing each student to have access to the counseling department
they can have a high quality of education and social emotional learning on a weekly basis. By
offering these services the students can be authentic, inclusive and collaborative with their peers
in the world at large. By using components of the ASCA model we will create a school
environment by preparing students for their future success. This will be accomplished by using
restorative practices such as conflict resolution and instruction of the highest quality, which is
done in a safe learning environment without bias. This will provide advocacy, equity and access
for all students.
The Core Beliefs of the school is-We believe:
1. schools should be safe, joyous places of learning
2. every student is worthy of intellectual, social, and emotional respect
3. in the continuous improvement of teaching and learning
4. quality education requires culturally competent adults
5. parents and guardians are our partners

6. in the pursuit of equity and excellence
7. the diversity of our schools is a strength
8. in fiscal accountability to those that invest in our schools
9. in providing robust, varied, and cutting edge educational opportunities
10. in educating the whole child by nurturing students’ physical, social, emotional,
creative, and intellectual growth .
Albert Leonard Middle School’s (ALMS) motto is Inspire, Educate, Empower all
children everyday, which is embedded in the core foundation of a comprehensive school
counseling program.
Narrative:
The mission statement was developed by having a real and concrete understanding of
how the student population, the community, the student body, the stakeholders, the parents, the
teachers, the support staff and especially the students can work together to create a positive
learning environment. By thinking and examining the microcosmic environment that is a school,
we can see how understanding equity and diversity play a big role in the overall success of a
school. By focusing on celebrating, encouraging and promoting diversity in a school, the
students can begin to thrive and have overall success. The mission statement focuses on social
emotional learning, academics and career readiness which ables the students to have long term
success. The counseling department will engage the students in goal setting, best educational
practices, autonomy over their post secondary and career choices, anger management strategies
and conflict resolution. Every child has a place at Albert Leonard Middle School.
Vision Statement of Albert Leonard Middle School:

Albert Leonard Middle School has a strong focus on nurturing and fostering the whole
child, mentally, physically and emotionally. By challenging their students to be creative and
investigative thinkers the school will thrive and the students will become life-long learners. With
these systems in place they will have critical thinking at the forefront of their education in order
to foster independent thought, collaborative interaction and alternative problem solving methods
which can ultimately bring which will serve the global community.
The best possible outcomes of this vision would be:
1. Increase attendance rate by 15% from the attendance rate that was gathered from
outcome data in the 2021-2022 school year
2. Increase graduation rate by 10% from the attendance rate that was gathered from
outcome data in the 2021-2022 school year.
Narrative:
This comprehensive school counseling program advocates for the following domains:
social emotional, academic and career readiness. The vision statement allows for equitable
change in all of three of these domains by creating workshops that deal with cyber bullying,
sexual harrassment, child abuse (emotional and physical) and academic achievement. This vision
can help the school at large and also the academic achievement gap that is an ongoing problem
throughout the school community. Our vision statement outlines what values and morals school
holds, and ways that we can continue to uphold these elements in the most productive and
educational way possible. Based off the vision of the school, we can make decisions that will
benefit our students by identifying achievement gaps with the school by ongoing assessment and
data collection
C. School Counseling Program Goals:

The goals for our school counseling program based on the data that was researched are
increased attendance and highschool success. These goals promote achievement and attendance,
that reflect outcome data from the previous year which reflect closing-the-gap issues, and
academic and career development. By using our SMART goals we can ensure that each goal is
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. These SMART goals which are
addressed daily allow students to work towards their larger goals within the School Counseling
Comprehensive program which are attendance and high school readiness. Based on our two
vision goals for the 2022-2023 academic year we have devised the below sub set SMART Goals
in order to achieve these larger academic, social/emotional and career readiness goals.
SMART Goals:
Goal 1: Social/Emotion and Academic

Specific: We want change the attendance rate from 94%-100% in order to have a better
academic achievement and improve it by %15
Measurable: Data based off school records in eschool
Achievable: it is attainable by implementing an incentive based goal like metro cards, DD
cards or dress down day
Relevant: It is a goal that affects the students on a day to day basis
Time Bound: One school year
Objective 1: arriving at school on time can allow the student to begin their academic day in a
more efficient way
Objective 2: contributes to a higher achievement rate within the school
Objective 3: contributes to a higher level of professional behavior
Expected outcomes: For students to achieve academic success throughout the school year by
arriving at school on time which adhere to the following mindsets and behaviors based off of the
ASCA model
Mindsets and Behaviors:

M 6. Understanding that postsecondary education and lifelong learning are necessary for
long-term success.
B-LS 4. Self-motivation and self- direction for learning.
B-SMS 5. Perseverance to achieve long-and short-term goals.
B-SS 8. Advocacy skills for self and others and ability to assert self, when necessary
Goal 2: Career Readiness and Academic

Specific: Students who are outside the 1.5 distance away from the school will obtain
reduced transportation in order to consistently attend school and be on track to graduate
creating at 10% increase
Measurable: Attendance records in eschool, if the students are on time in and have a
transportation plan
Achievable: work with the local MTA or work with the school district in city hall who
deals with the transportation department to obtain the metro cards
Relevant: Relevant: It is a goal that affects the students on a day to day basis
Time Bound: One school year
Objective 1: If students have a better mindset around how they will get to school by having
transportation that is provided, the students will have more ease with coming to school on a
consistent basis. Any additional stress about how they will get to school will be alleviated.
Objective 2: contributes to a higher achievement rate within the school and allows the students to
be on track to graduate
Objective 3: contributes to a higher level of professional behavior and be on track to graduate
Expected outcomes: For students to achieve academic achievement throughout the school year
by having a transportation plan which adheres to the below mindsets and behaviors based off the
ASCA model
Mindsets and Behaviors:

M 1.
Belief in development of whole self, including a healthy balance of mental, social/emotional and
physical well-being
B-LS 7.
Long- and short-term academic, career and social/emotional goals
B-SMS 4. Delayed gratification for long-term rewards
B-SS 5.
Ethical decision-making and social responsibility
Narrative:
By setting SMART goals throughout an academic school year the students have clarity
and communication in order to be successful. The incentive for perfect attendance that was stated
above can motivate the students to take pride in getting to school everyday. The second goal
addresses an issue that many students have which is difficulty obtaining safe transportation in
order to get to school everyday. By providing metro cards the students can have access to daily
transportation. Assessing these goals on a 15 day cycle can give the counseling department a
better understanding of the success of the intervention they have been set in place. Based on the
2021-2022 school year data, the areas of attendance and graduation rate were cause for concern
and in order “to drive the strategic efforts, synchronize collaborations, prioritize work efforts,
focus resources'' (ASCA, 2019) implementation of specific Tier 1-3 interventions though the
counseling department will need to be implemented in order to achieve these goals. These
program goals are developed annually in order to be aligned with the vision and the mission of
the school.

Narrative:
By using the classroom and group Mindsets & Behaviors action plan to identify all
ASCA Student Standards addressed through classroom and group activities. They serve as the
foundation for core curriculum by reflecting the national standards through the specified lesson
plans. These lesson plans can then be further expanded for Tier 2 and Tier 3 students by
implementing small group lessons. These small groups also reflect the ASCA mindsets and
behaviors. With this ITR intervention the counseling department can continue to close the gap.
These mindsets and behaviors and relevance are revised annually based on outcome date.
III. Delivery
A. Statement of Individual Planning activities:
The individual planning services will be offered in group and one on one counseling in
the following areas: anger management, sexual harrassment, bullying, self esteem, self
confidence and stress management. These services will be delivered to elementary school,
middle school and highschool. On the onset of these lessons being delivered the students will
review privacy and confidentiality.
B. Classroom guidance curriculum action plan and narrative:
Action Plan ( ◀️ click the link for the action plan)

The comprehensive action plan delivered by our comprehensive and detailed lesson plans
encompass all three domains as they relate to the needs of the students. After reviewing the
school data in regards to where the need is in the school were most prominent, we found that
there was a big focus on social emotional learning that needed to be addressed and that is where
the majority of our lessons focused. One of the examples of a lesson plan that could be used year
in and year out would be a lesson on non- violent communication. This lesson came about
because we noticed an increase in fighting going on in and out of the classroom based on
collected data. Due to this increase of the violence in the school we saw a need to implement this
particular lesson plan. By introducing historical figures like Gandhi/ Martin Luther King, the
students can start to have a greater understanding of the bigger components of social emotional
learning. With a greater understanding of these concepts the students will be able to begin to
implement empathy, self confidence and self control. The lesson also addresses how the students
can role play a more effective way of speaking and interacting with one another by placing a
bunch of sceneries into a bowl, picking them out using non-violent communication. The images
below are examples of what is used in the powerpoint for this lesson.
C. Classroom guidance lessons:
Lesson Plan 1: Bullying & Cyber Bullying Awareness
Domain: Social/ Emotional
Narrative:
The purpose of this lesson is to address the bullying that’s happening throughout the
school building and after school hours based on collected data. The lesson addresses many issues
that students of all ages are facing in school and after school. Through role-playing, independent,
and group work students will learn what bullying is and how it can affect everyone around you.
Lastly, the school counselor will “help identify and support children who are bullied, redirect the
behavior of children who bully, and change the attitudes of adults and youth who tolerate
bullying behaviors in peer groups, schools, and communities.” (Home Prevention Working in the
Community, 2021).

Follow-Up Plans
Students will come to the School Counselor's office with other students who missed the lesson
that day during their lunch period or a day after school.
As the school counselor, I would put those students in a small group and continue to do
bullying exercises like making them act out the scenarios to see if they would further
understand what a bully is.

counseling department decided that it was necessary to implement the below lesson By
addressing their self confidence issues the female student will have the ability to tackle more
challenging classes like math and science in a productive way. The School Counselor will be
addressing the social norms of these girls and helping them feel comfortable in their skin. The
group of 24 will be broken down into groups 2 of 12. The School Counselor will be conducting
these lessons with the hope that the girls will have higher self-esteem and less trash talk.

Summarize/Close: The counselor will ask students whether they understood what
self-confidence is and will they start using more positive words instead
of trash talking. Can they name one unique thing they found out about
themselves? Tell the girls they will meet at the same time and place next
week.
Data Collection Plan –
Anticipated number 2 groups of 12 girls (24 total)

of students:

lesson(s):


1. Ask girls how the lesson made them feel using a KWL worksheet
2. Did they learn anything new about themselves after reviewing the KWL worksheet
3. On a scale of 1-5, how confident do they feel after the exercise
Outcome Data Plan:
Discipline: The School Counselor will compare the number of times these girls use negative
comments in the hallway and at lunch from the beginning of the year until after the winter
break.
Follow-Up Plans
Students must complete the worksheet and answer the questions on their lunch break. They will
then be allowed to join the group to allow the students to catch up on anything we discussed In
the previous meeting.
As the school counselor, I would allow students who missed the lesson to join another group
session to get the full understanding of what self-confidence is and what makes them unique.

Topic/Focus: lesson and thank them for coming. The school counselor explains
confidentiality to the students again and asks if they understand. The
school counselor will explain that the purpose of the counseling lesson
is to understand what sexual harassment is and how to follow the school
protcol in reporting it. The school counselor will explain that this may
be an uncomfortable conversation to have however it is for the students’
safety. The school counselor will also inform the students that they can
come to see the counselors after class for clarification or to discuss any
concerns. The school counselor will hand out a piece of paper that asks
the students to chose on a Likert scale how much they know about
sexual harassment and how important they think it is. After the school
counselor collects the paper, they will ask the students what they think
sexual harassment is and what that looks like.
Communicate the The school counselor will explain the importance of having this lesson,
Lesson Objective: which is to ensure the students know what sexual harassment is and how
to report it. The school counselor wants the students to know these
objectives, as well as the three way you can be sexually harassed and
that the students can always come to the school counselor and discuss
these issues.
Teach Content: The School Counselor will define sexual harassment.

The School Counselor will explain the protocol in reporting sexual
harassment in the school.
Practice Content: After the students explain their perspective of what sexual harassment
is, the school counselor will tell them the definition of sexual
harrassment: “behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and
inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or
other professional or social situation” (Oxford Langauages, 2022). The
school counselor will give examples of what sexual harassment looks
like: someone who is making comments about your body or what you
wear in a sexual way. The school counselor will ask for any questions so
far.
Next, the school counselor will show a video
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9HVVVmVAM8) titled Sexual
Harassment at School8. After the video, the school counselor will ask
the students how they think the girl felt in the video; the school
counselor will write these emotions on the board. Then the school
counselor will ask the ways you can be sexually harassed: verbally,
physically, and visually, and the school counselor will give examples of
each. The school counselor will explain that the video was about a girl
being sexual harassed, however boys can be sexually harassed as well
and will be taken seriously. The school counselor will ask for any
questions.
Next, the school counselor will explain the protcol in reporting sexual
harassment at the school. The school counselor will pass around the
form that gets filled out with the school counselor. The school counselor
will fill one out as an example to familiarize the students. The school
counselor will ask if there are any questions about the process or what
they have discussed so far.
Summarize/Close: As the school counselor reviews the definition of sexual harassment, the
three forms of sexual harassment, that anyone can be sexually harassed,
and the protocol of reporting sexual harassment in the school, the school
counselor will also hand out an exit ticket with the same Likert
questions in the beginning (how much they know about sexual
harassment and how important they think it is). The school counselor
will ask for any questions or clarification. The school counselor will
explain that the students can come to their office if they need anything
in relation to the lesson or anything at all.

Lesson Plan #4: Stress Management

Domain: Career Readiness/Academic:
The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand how they can manage stress
throughout their academic careers. Based on data that was collected it was identified that many
students do not go to class when they feel stressed and therefore it is important to address this
issue with the below lesson. The information given to the students from the school counselor
gives them tangible coping strategies that they can use in and out of school when they feel
stressed. By teaching the students coping strategies they can have a greater autonomy over their
mental health, academic success and overall happiness.

that cause stress in their life, and write them in the middle of the circle.
As the student writes down their stressors, the school counselor will
write down the five sections on the sheet; mental, emotional, academic,
social, and physical. The school counselor will ask the students to work
in small groups and discuss coping strategies that can be used to manage
these stressors under each category. As the students are working
together, the school counselor will go around to each group and listen to
what they’re discussing and assist if needed.

Lesson Plan #5: Community helpers:
Domain: Academic Achievement and Career Readiness

Narrative:
The purpose of this lesson is for students in elementary school to begin to identify
different community helpers that they may see in their lives. This activity allows the students to
dress up as community helpers and identify careers that their parents do or other people that they
may see on a daily basis. We noticed that with the rise of social media, students at a very young
age are starting to have more questions about the world at large specifically and may ask the
question “what grown ups do?” . This is a great lesson to begin to answer this question for these
younger students. This lesson can help the students get curious about what might interest them
and what they may want to do when they grow up.

Lesson Plan #6: Affirmations

Domain: Social/Emotional
Narrative:
The purpose of this lesson is to empower students to feel better about themselves on a
daily basis and find tools and strategies that the students can use when they are feeling low or
sad. This lesson introduces the idea of daily affirmations and how this tool can be used to help
students get ready for their day in a positive way. After reviewing the outcome data of the
students in English classes, the counselor was able to identify a gap in the way that the students
are feeling about themselves which can translate into their academic lives. After reviewing this
data the counselor was able to clearly identify that the way students were talking to each other
was completely negative and detrimental, therefore the use of daily affirmations was created.
With the use of this lesson the student can have something tangible like the beads to look at and
remind themselves of the affirmation.

Classroom Guidance Results Report Narrative:
The counseling department has chosen to create a core curriculum that directly aligns
with the district and school vision and mission statements. By using mindsets and behaviors
within our classroom guidance lesson plans we are able to have a comprehensive school
counseling classroom curriculum that can span several topics and concerns. The six lessons
chosen support the department goals. Counselors chose one lesson from each grade level to
ensure thorough reflection on the core curriculum across the school. After each lesson is taught
the counseling department will reflect on the lesson with the use of pre-test and post-test
perception data. After reviewing the data of the lesson the counseling department can have a
better idea if the lesson will be a good fit for the 2022-2023 academic school year. Counselors
shared outcome data with the school counseling advisory council.
F. Sample six-session small group counseling unit and narrative:
After conducting at the end of the 2021-2022 school year in order for the counseling
department to have a better understanding as to where the gaps and needs would be within the
RTI framework. One of the assessments that were conducted are linked below and was a great
tool in allowing the counselors to create more specialized group lesson plans that can be utilized
with several different groups of student throughout the year:
First Quarter Needs Assessment(social/emotional assessment) Grade 5-7 small group (click
the link for the assessment)
The lesson plans were then presented to the administration during a planning meeting in
the beginning of the school year and the committee discussed which students they believe could
benefit from small group RTI intervention at a Tier 2 level. Once the groups were organized and
scheduled parents and students were notified. If a teacher feels strongly that their student needs a
small group intervention throughout the year that can be arranged. Most of the groups will
average 3-4 students and will run for 6 weeks. The curriculum of the small group lessons align
with the vision and mission of the school and program goals.
Group Session #1: How Does Disordered Eating affect Me?-Social/Emotional
Narrative:
This is the first lesson of six group lessons. The student’s in this group were specifically
curated by the counselor based off a beginning of the year assessment dealing with overall
health and body image. After reviewing the assessment the counselor determined that there may
be some students who are struggling with disordered eating. The counselor safely and calming
approach each member to see if they would be interested in joining the group. In this first lesson
the students will learn the rules and confidentiality of the group as it affects them and their
participation in the group. Going over confidentiality especially with 8th graders is extremely
important and the students must understand that nothing that is discussed inside the group can be
ever talked about outside the group. The main focus and objective of the group in this session is
to build trust by doing the wand excessively and group discussion. In the first session the group
will discuss how they came to the group and why they think they may have disordered eating.
Since the focus of the group could be difficult for some students to talk about it is important to
establish empathy, kindness, safety and boundaries in this first session.

gets the students up and moving. By getting the students to do the art therapy exercise can
encourage them to get out of their heads and more focused on their bodies. This lesson gives
them the opportunity to draw and be creative with the difficult prompts that are presented.

Topic/Focus: purpose of our group: managing your disordered eating
● the second session of the group would begin to introduce the
topic of what an eating disorder even looks like and how it might
be affecting your life
● there will be a big focus on naming the eating disorder that the
students might be struggling with: is it bulimia, anorexia
Communicate the ● have a better understanding of what their eating disorder is and
Lesson Objective: how it might be manifesting for them in their day to day lives
● begin to name their eating disorder
Teach Content: 1. We would begin by doing another icebreaker to make sure

everyone knows each other's names: hot potato. We will quickly
pass around a ball (the hot potato) and the students will have to
pass it by saying the other students name, the students have 15
seconds to say the students name or they get “burned” and will
have to be out for the next round
2. a brief reminder about the norms and rules of the group.
3. engage the students in a discussion on what is disordered eating
and give a small power point presentation on what some of the
medical terms of what these disorders may be
Note: Some of these questions may be hard for the students to answer,
remind them that it is okay if they do not want to answer these questions
at this time
Practice Content: 1. the student will draw out the answers with markers, crayons,
pencil crayons and paper to the following questions:
a. Do you think you engage in disordered eating?
b. Do you have a ritual?
c. Are you alone or with other people?
2. ask the students to discuss their drawings and any feelings that
may be coming up for them
3. encourage the students to place these drawings in their journal
Summarize/Close: ● summary of the session and a brief discussion about how the
students felt about the session
● offer the homework (it is optional but will help the students in
between the group): continuing drawing when you feel the urge
to engage in disordered eating throughout the week

Lesson Plan #3: Triggers and Planning Prevention

Domain: Academic:
Narrative:
Identifying triggers is a very important component of the healing process for individuals
with disordered eating. There can be many triggers all around as we have identified in this lesson
and it is important for the group to begin to freely discuss them. Having the students role play
their triggers as we did in this exercise is a great way to get them to feel where in their first
physicality they experience the trigger. For many people that is in their stomach, but for others, it
could be tingling in their hands or feet. When certain physical symptoms begin to happen as a
result of the triggers they can act as warning signs to the person and remind them that this is
going to begin to elicit an emotion. It is important at that point for the student to start
implementing the tools that they have to deal with trigger and de-escalate the situation. The
students will then get into the habit of naming their triggers which will ultimately help in curbing
disordered eating. This identification process is important to go back to as the group progresses
and the members get more comfortable with one another.

Materials:

● Paper
Introduce Lesson ● confidentiality statement reiterated and reviewed Rules

Topic/Focus: ● begin with homework review: students will each share one thing
thing in regards to their journal that stood out to them and how it
made them feel
● They will explain to the students the purpose of our journal
which is to begin to identify patterns and behaviors and specific
recurring elements that really "push your buttons”.
● by identifying what pushes your buttons you can begin to
identify your triggers.
● Trigger introduction: There are many ways that our brains can be
triggered, and these triggers are usually different from person to
person based on individual life experiences. It is important for us
to realize what our triggers are, to be aware of what issues in our

lives promote self care and support
Communicate the ● identify and reframe triggers, once the students have identified
Lesson Objective: some of the triggers the students can begin to think of different
ways we can respond
Teach Content: ● explain and teach students what triggers are : use a google slide
for this so the student can call out the answers and you can add
them as you go
● For example:
○ Adolescent tiggers could be: parents, teachers,
employers, siblings, social media, television, peers ,
drugs or alcohol, birthdays
○ Family Trigger: divorce, abuse, substance abuse, sexual
abuse, step parents, step siblings, financial strains,
changing living environments, high expectations from
parents, toxic home life
○ Triggers from School: peers, community risk factor:
school rules, clicks
● from peers within the schools, academic expectations, violence
within the school, social media bullying with the school, drug
and alcohol abuse within the school
Practice Content: ● in this session, we will write down on a piece of paper all of the
triggers that may occur and then put them in a collective bowl
anonymously
● once everyone has put their triggers in the bowl in pairs the
student will go through and role play each trigger
● then the students will briefly discuss the role play in pairs
● The group will come back together and discuss how the role play
went
Summarize/Close: ● Summarize how these triggers may affect the group members
and ask the group members to track throughout the week three
times a trigger may come
● Homework for this week: Record in your journal:
○ Track how many triggers came up for you this week
○ How did you deal if you felt a trigger come on (be
specific)
○ Powerpoint graphic to the left
Lesson Plan #4: Planning Prevention

Domain: Academic
Narrative:
This is a very interactive group lesson where the students can start implementing how
they can begin to use some of the CBT therapies that have been discussed. Using the bubble
wrap as a metaphor for the negative thoughts that come and the ability to pop them out gives the
students a fun way to begin to understand this theory in a tangible way. Sometimes when a
theory is introduced to the students they zone out because they think they may not be able to
handle it but using a fun exercise like this gets them immediately excited about what you are
talking about . I also really like the idea of looking in the mirror and drawing what you see. It is
sometimes very difficult for people to look at themselves for long periods of time. It is a good
exercise to stop and reflect on what they see about themselves and then have the opportunity to
process those emotions on paper with the use of the drawing. It is an immediate reaction to
looking at yourself that does need to be thought about. It is just simply focused on the emotions
that come.

Lesson Objective: with food and how they can manage it on a day to day basis with
specific strategies, tools and theories
Teach Content: ● A discussion of a prevention program such as Cognitive

Behavioral Therapy (CBT) would be discussed with the group in
order to begin to reorient the way the group members are
thinking about food and their bodies and if there are different
ways to change their thought patterns
● A great day to teach the idea of CBT is by using bubble wrap as
a metaphor
● we will pop out our negative thoughts by using popping bubble
wrap
● have the students play with the bubble wrap for a few minutes
Practice Content: ● process and discuss homework on triggers, have students share
the new coping strategies they have tried in the last weeks.
● activity: have students look in a mirror and draw a simple outline
of your body or color in the areas of your body that you like the
most and which areas you like the least.

them or use CBT strategies
Summarize/Close: ● go over what CBT is a process discussion in regards to either the

bubble exercise or the drawing exercise

support or inspiration in your life
Lesson Plan #5: Implementing a Theoretical Approach like CBT

Domain: Social/ Emotional
Narrative:
I am really excited to implement this lesson and see how the student may respond to it. It
is very interactive and a skill that the students can do anytime when they are encountered with
food that may be difficult for them. Mindful eating really stems from the idea of slowing down
and engaging with the food either tactfully, sensorially or literally which I think this lesson really
embodies. Some of the triggers that the students may experience could start with these initial
interactions with food. By regaining empowerment in regards to their natural hunger cues from
their bodies they can gain tools and autonomy over food. The students can also develop and
implement a new way of thinking and reframing negative emotions. This is a great lesson
because it is a combination between DBT and CBT theories and techniques which makes it very
versatile for many students or schools.

Practice Content: ● review the confidentiality and group rules

● The school counselor will have the students pick up a piece of
food off of the table; banana, cookie, apple, soup, pizza, etc.
● The school counselor is then going to prompt the students to
close their eyes and picture the food that they’re holding in their
mind. The school counselor will ask the following questions:
○ How does it feel?
○ Does it make you feel happy that you’re going to eat?
○ Does it make you frustrated or upset?
○ Do you feel hungry?
○ If you have a negative emotion about this food what are
some positive emotions that could come up with for this
food
Summarize/Close: We will review how this activity affected each student and review our
discussion. The students will talk about their triggers and how to work
on connecting the emotions with food. I will remind the students that
next week will be our last group session.

Annual Agreement Narrative:
In this annual agreement the counseling department is responsible for the following main
goals that pertain to three ASCA domains as they pertain to the school year:
1. By the end of 1st semester, students with more than 2 check in absences during the first
10 weeks of school will decrease by 1 checked absence moving towards our target goal
of a 15% increase in attendance for the 2022-2023 school year
2. By the end of the 2022-23 school year more than 75% of the eighth students will be on
track to graduate, this will reflect moving towards our target goal of a 10% increase in
attendance for the 2022-2023 school year
These goals comprise goals in all three domains of the ASCA National Model and are
clear and SMART goals that can be tracked through the use of data throughout the year. With this
goal in mind I would commit to an annual review of all direct and indirect services that would be
provided to the students in order for the counseling department to continue to thrive. Based on
the needs of the students gathered from preliminary first quarter assessments there can be a
clearer understanding of where to focus the curriculum:
● The counselor caseload is 250 students
● There is one middle school counselor in the building

● Program components that encompass direct and indirect planting would involve the
following:
B. Advisory Council and Meeting minutes:
School Counseling Program Vision Statement as it relates to our first semester advisory
council meeting is to continue to encourage equity and diversity within the school by creating

By the end of the 2022-23 school there will be a 10% increase in eighth students being on
track to graduate with the following school wide intervention such as the introduction of school
clubs the student have several incentives to want to come to school on a consistent basis.
Review of all school clubs that have started:
● Initiatives for new clubs in order to have student to feel like they belong

● Some of the clubs include: girl empowerment, art club (grades 3-4), flamenco clubs,
anime, board game club (in the mornings)
● This Friday is Hispanic Heritage Month with a screening of CoCo
Goal 2:
By the end of 1st semester, students with more than 2 check in absences during the first
10 weeks of school will decrease by 1 checked absence by having more mental health services
in school. By having more in house mental health services the student will be able to identify
resources that can help be successful and allow the students to have a greater connection with the
school as a whole.

how that could just pertain to not playing TAG
Narrative:
This Advisory Council and Agenda consisted of several stakeholders who could attend
which included all school counselors, principal, assistant principal, teachers, parents, and
students. The meeting objective was to continue to work on annual student outcome goals for the
2022-2023 school year. The advisory council continues to work on achievement and outcome
goals that are set forth through the School Counseling Plan by implementing the new
interventions throughout the school. The initiatives set in place from the annual agreement will
be exemplified in the school community with activities such as swimming programs, Coaching
Student Council for upcoming elections, Hurricane Relief, Teacher Lounge clean up, Dress down
days, Incentive for students to work towards, Food drives and community fridge. The advisory
council also implements mental health initiatives such as the ABC mental health clinic.
The purpose of the advisory council is to continue to assess how the program is working
and what changes should be made. By having the advisory council the school at large can
continue to review results based on RTI interventions and make recommendations on how to
better the overall program. During the meeting the counselor presented and reviewed the annual
goals of the program which consists of:
Curriculum plan
Classroom Lesson Plan
Group plan
Closing the Gap
The Council would then give feedback and discuss how the interventions are affecting
these areas. The results report shows that based on the RTI interventions that above 95% of
students would be on track to graduate and that students will have one or no checks. These are on
target for our annual goals and therefore the purpose and accountability of the council remains

V. Accountability:
A. Closing the Gap Report (MEASURE) and narrative:
Mission
The Mission of the MEASURE Goals:

Middle school attendance is directly correlated to our overall mission statement. At Albert
Leonard Middle School, we strive to create lifelong learners, who are accountable for their
academic and career success. Our students work collaboratively with each other to ensure
overall success in the school, which connects to the interventions in each goal. We want our
students to be successful long after they graduate, academically, socially and emotionally, and
in their careers. This is attendance is at the top of our goals this incoming school year.
Mission Statement:
The Albert Leonard Middle School wants to develop and create a safe environment that brings
on racial and ethical diversity to the forefront. In allowing each student to have access to the
counseling department they can have and will have tools to achieve their goals and be active
members of the world at large. The New Rochelle school district wants to foster a safe
environment that focuses on racial and ethical diversity. Allowing each student to have access
to the counseling department they can have a high quality of education and social emotional
learning. By offering these services the students can be authentic, inclusive and collaborative
with their peers in the world at large. By using components of the ASCA model we will create
a school environment by preparing students for their future success. This will be accomplished
by using restorative practices such as conflict resolution and instruction of the highest quality,
which is done in a safe learning environment without bias. This will provide advocacy, equity
and access for all students.

Narrative
The implementations of the interventions for eighth grade attendance, reflects the overall
goals of the school counseling program at Albert Leonard Middle School. By using the outcome
data from the previous years, the school counselors created a plan with interventions to increase
high school success and eighth grade attendance for this school year. The review of the data
highlighted the gaps in the middle school and where the school counseling program needs to
create RTI intervention in order to ensure success for all students within the department.
The data shows that the implementations that were made based on the closing the gap
report were successful in this MEASURE accountability process. The first goal of middle school
graduation, the rate was 75% of students were following through on their high school goals. The
results show that the interventions increased the highschool rate to 85% of students attending
highschool, attending college and having lifelong careers. The second goal is 8th grade
attendance, the rate was 65% of senior students were consistently attending classes. Based on the
results of the intervention it shows that the senior attendance increased to 80% of senior students
attending consistently.
The success of these goals were directly related to the interventions made by the school
counseling department. For the highschool goal, pre-assessments were conducted through a
Google poll to determine if any students needed support through MTSS. The incentive in place
was for the students applying to highschool, if they apply to 10 colleges before the deadline they
receive a VISA gift card. For the students going into the trades, if they contacted 5 different
trades or carers they would also receive a VISA gift card. At the end of the year, the students
would receive a post-assessment detailing what highschool they're choosing and if they felt the
incentive was helpful.
For the 8th grade attendance goal, pre-assessments were conducted through Google poll
to see if they needed any resources regarding transportation to school and what resources were
available to them. After the school counselors conduct a classroom lesson based on time
management and routine, the goal of senior attendance will be explained. If the students reach
their goal each quarter, they will receive a pizza party, a game show night with real prizes, a
dance night, or another activity students are interested in. The school counselors will give a
classroom lesson following the time management and routine at the beginning of each quarter
and the goal will be explained again. At the end of the year, the students will be given a
post-assessment through Google poll asking them if they need any resources and how they
enjoyed the interventions from the school counselors.
Through the closing the gap report and the MEASURE accountability process, the school
counselors were able to create data driven goals and interventions. The school counselors were
also able to review the gaps in the school and what interventions are needed based on these gaps.
Continuing these Tier 1 interventions for all the students ensures the students know what the
standard is, know that they have support, and the goals created by the school counselors can be
increased annually to reach all students.
Closing The Gap Report
Closing the Gap 679 ( ◀️ click the link for the closing the gap)
Narrative:
By implementing the interventions that we have set in place the baseline goals of
attendance and college readiness, which reflects the schools overall goals of our comprehensive
school counseling program: attendance and accountability. After reviewing the data these goals
were in line with the gaps that were seen throughout the school that have been hindering overall
academic success of the students.
Based on the interventions implemented in the above closing the gap results report one
can deduce that at the end of the fourth quarter there was a significant increase in the amount of
students that had applied to highschool with a 10% increase in graduation rate and a 15%
increase for school attendance. The ability to close the gap in such a big way will allow all
students to learn and thrive and begin to have overall autonomy over their education.
This increase can be directly related to the incentives that are set in place with providing
food for the students on Fridays and VISA gift cards. With these incentives the students are more
likely to achieve the goals that the counselors have set forth for them. One of the most important
components of the role of a school counselor is to close the gap in schools, especially after these
past few Covid years when there were huge disparities and difficulties within families and their
children’s overall education. By closing these gaps all students can have the chance to
academically achieve their goals in all three domains which is reflected in the data above.
With these continued Tier One interventions the student body at large can have access to
the tools that they need in order to thrive and succeed in their academic careers.
B. Program evaluation and reflection:
Our school counseling program will promote leadership, advocacy and collaboration in
order to create systematic change by allowing the students tangible and attainable goals
throughout the school year. These goals can motivate them to complete using a variety of tools
such as incentives, curriculum assessments and counseling opportunities for the students. By
offering these services to the students they can begin to take ownership of their academic careers
and have the ability to flourish in all education domains outlined in the ASCA model. We will be
using the following program evaluation: School Counseling Program Assessment
The counseling program will be assessed by the counselors, the assistant principal and the
principal. Quarterly data assessment will be documented and discussed with a focus on
perception and outcome data. After the assessments there will be a general discussion with the
counselor and the department in regards to improvements that can be made towards the goals
which are set forth in the comprehensive counseling program guide.
The strengths in our counseling department is our mission of equity for all students as it
relates to their academic achievement. Each student will have the opportunity to take ownership
and responsibility for their middle school experience by reaching out to the counseling
department. The classroom and group lessons will offer the students access to a plethora of tools
that they can use in their overall success.
The weakness would be closing the achievement gap within the school. The data and
statistics that show this gap needs to be addressed and tightened. After recovering from the
pandemic it is more important to stop the decline in attendance and graduation rates in order to
give equal opportunities for all students to thrive and succeed.
Our program will ensure cultural competence by continued professional development for
the staff. Having more education in terms of language, lesson planning and school culture and
climate, cultural competence will flourish naturally promoting equality and equity for all
students. This key mission will make this program stand out amongst the rest.
