Data Elements - School Counselor Pathway [Activity]

Review Supplemental Support

Mission 2 had you reflect on the curriculum, activities, and resources your school counseling program has in place to support all students at the universal level. Ensuring an inclusive and engaging universal support system maximizes your time as a school counselor; freeing you up to perform the roles and responsibilities required within the ASCA core curriculum. 

However, what systems does your school counseling team have in place when a student needs more? Ask yourself,

• • Are you using formative assessment to determine student success or are you using summative assessment data to determine student interventions?
  • Are there Pre-Determined and Pre-Planned data elements in place that inform stakeholders when a student needs more?
  • Do students have to wait until the classroom teacher identifies them for interventions? 
  • Are families informed about criteria and/or procedures that qualify students for supplemental (Tier 2) support?

 

Data Elements - Activity

Using the continuum of support you started in Continuum of Support [BADGE Activity] review the curriculum, activities, resources, and or tools you placed in the supplement (Tier 2) and Intensified (Tier3) levels of support. Determine the Pre-Determined/Pre-Planned Data Metrics for each intervention. 

Below are examples of data elements to help guide your delivery of supplemental and intensified services. Remember to revisit each data point to identify when interventions need to be intensified or discontinued.  

School Counseling Pre-Determined/Pre-Planned Data Metrics  for Supplemental (Tier 2) Interventions (Sample)
At-Risk Indicator Attendance, Behavior, Grades	Grade Level	Data Element Criteria Exact threshold that will trigger the student as eligible for a supplemental intervention	How Often the Data Will be Collected Indicate a regular interval; avoid the phrase “as needed”	Source Used to Gather Data  Specific report or data collection needed to gather the information	Options for Interventions  Determined by the root cause of the issue
Behavior	7th	5 or more discipline referrals	Every progress report + Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4	Synergy IDS 401	Restorative conversations Family meeting Small group counseling

    • How is it helpful to have supplemental (Tier 2) interventions with pre-determined, pre-planned data points for all stakeholder?
    • What supplemental (Tier 2) interventions were you unable to identify pre-determined, pre-planned data points for? How do you and your team plan to address this?
