This year I will be grades 9-12. I’ve asked if I can order a loveseat/large cushion chair that is comfortable for when students are upset. I was told I could order off of amazon and to try to keep it below $300. Has anyone else ordered comfy seating off of amazon for their office and loved their purchase?

Thanks!

Hi I’m relatively new in school counseling - just finished my 3rd year. Up to this point I’ve basically been wearing down the couple business casual items I bought when I started my internship. I basically rotate through the same 10ish outfits that I got for really cheap since I was a broke college student. Can anyone recommend some good quality women’s clothing stores for business casual wear? Where do you get a lot of your work clothes from?

Thanks! 😊

I’ve been offered a position that pays more in another district, only downside is my commute is 56 mins one way. As of right now that is my only offer. However I do have an application I just put in before I got the offer for another district that would be only 37 mins commute one way and pays significantly more than both my current position and offer. If I agree to the offer I have currently but then get offered an interview for the other district is that allowed? If the other district then liked me and offered me a position would I be able to back out of my first offer? Or should I just turn down the first offer in hopes for the better of the two?

I have a very picky eating situation and am desperate for recipes.

I have been red meat free for a few years. Meaning I only eat turkey, chicken and fish. I also had my gallbladder removed so I try to steer clear of fatty dairy products.

My partner has accepted this and will eat what I make however he recently went to a dr who told him he needs to up his intake of veggies and lower his intake of pasta and bread.

I’ve only ever lived on my own before recently moving in with him so I’m not used to cooking “healthy” meals. I usually just cook frozen meals or simple things like chicken Alfredo or spaghetti or tacos with ground turkey. So I’m desperate to find more recipes because I feel I’ve exhausted Pinterest. A lot of the recipes on there have pasta involved or a SHIT ton of cheese.

So in sum I’m looking for recipes that are:

1. Made with chicken, turkey or fish
2. Bread/pasta free
3. If there’s cheese let it be a small sprinkling not 2+ cups 😂

Bonus points if it includes veggies but if not I can always toss some on the side.

Just as the title says - I love making scrunchies with this yarn and am down to my last 3 skeins 😭

My school is doing major budget cuts and currently they have a teacher doing 504s for a stipend. Next year as part of their budget cut they are removing the stipend and giving the role of 504 coordinator to me and my co-counselor. We are grades 7-12 so that’s a lot of 504s even with the 2 of us. We are already in charge of EDP’s, standardize test coordinating, and master schedule building and scheduling students. Plus all of our general SEL counseling duties.

I’m panicking with this add on. Don’t know if I just need to vent or hear encouraging words that 504s aren’t that scary. But I’m only going to be a 4th year counselor and this will only be my 2nd year at this school so I’m still learning and I’m nervous to say the least.

I like the style of planner Kate but it’s a little out of my price range ($5 for one sheet unless I’m reading the site wrong) … any similar style stickers but at a better price point?
Thanks!

Does EC ever have Memorial Day sales? I’m looking to buy for the first time but would hate to purchase only to find out in 2ish weeks they’ll be on sale…

How do you collect data at the middle/high school level?

I’m in my first year at a combo middle/high school. The past two years I worked pre-k - 5th grade and I found tracking data to be a lot easier because I would just go through my calendar and add up how many times I saw students/groups/classrooms each month and made trackers on what topics I covered with each grade. However, in this new role I find I have more drop in students than scheduled routine each week groups/one on ones. I have a hard time remembering to keep track when a kid drops in - any suggestions? I’m mostly trying to get my feet under me this year so I’m not exactly expected by admin to present data or anything end of year but I’d like to start the good habits so next year I start fresh with a good method ready for the year!

I do have ADHD so sometimes remembering to do things like take notes after a student meeting is hard. If you also have suggestions for good record keeping I’d appreciate that as well!

TIA ❤️
