Take advantage of informal encounters to encourage, motivate, and connect with students!
When school counselors venture outside the classroom or office into less formal settings, they can increase the number and effectiveness of encounters with students. Helping in the Hallways, Second Edition allows counselors to use these brief, less-structured interactions to create learning opportunities, improve student performance, and foster a positive school culture.
This revised edition references the ASCA National Model and addresses legislation such as NCLB. Expanded sections provide:
- Specific strategies for effective encounters
- Experiences and perspectives from teachers, students, and administrators
- Additional self-assessment activities and practice scenarios
- Tables and sidebars highlighting key points
Use these strategies to promote a safe, comfortable environment for learning that helps students succeed in all phases of school life.
"This second edition speaks directly to the reader and touches on the heart and soul of school counseling. It also provides innovative and practical ways to empower school personnel to become more proactive in communication and leadership."
“As an educator, I certainly wish there had been a book of this nature when I first entered the profession 27 years ago! A refreshing, timely model that can assist educators in impacting the large number of students they serve, rather than the limited few who may actually seek out their services.”
"An excellent resource that guides readers through the process of learning how to touch base with students in nontraditional settings.”
"Quite simply a book that should be a part of every school counselor’s library.”
"A must-read for all school counselors searching for methods to enhance the school environment and build a sense of community. This book inspires all of us to shift from 'thinking inside the box' to becoming more creative and ingenious thinkers."
"An excellent pick for education libraries, especially those catering to administrators."
