Podcasting from the Guidance Office
Guidance Counselors should make Podcasting part of their approach to developmental guidance counseling. The National Standards for School Counseling can give you the framework you need to start your developmental guidance program. The standards contain a multitude of topics that you can use in your Podcasting. These Podcasts need to be timely, pertinant, interesting, concise and show that you know your audience (5 to 10 minutes at the maximum).
Ideas for Guidance Podcasting include:
-
Students telling their experiences and advice for transitioning to a new school or grade level.
-
Guidance Counselors recording interviews with students about Time Management, Study Skills and Test Taking Strategies.
-
Guidance Counselors recording the upcoming calendar of college speakers, standardized tests, or other guidance activities.
-
Guidance Counselors giving strategies for dealing with stress, decision making, goal setting, implementing the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, and bullying. bullying. CAS007 - Bullying: Intervention Strategies for the Victim and Bully w/ Dr. Walter B. Roberts. Airdate 2/16/2006. I would recommend using this Podcast in staff development or with students in small group or individual counseling as you work with the bullies, bystanders, or the targets.
-
Guidance Counselors recording presentations for students or parents who could not attend (this may need to be longer than the 5-10 minutes maximum-it depends on the content and who the presenter is).
The easiest way to begin is to create a podcast or vodcast (video podcast) of a presentation or topic you have already worked with for years. Check out Podcasts for Educators, Schools and Colleges for help getting started. The Counselor’s Podcast™, a service of the Naviance Network™, features leading voices from the school counseling community speaking on topics of professional interest. The CounselorAudioSourse.net is another great site for examples of School Counselor Podcasting.
