Classroom Group Guidance Checklist

Life Lab

A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional frame of reference that can be applied throughout life.

Invitational Education Formula

The Guidance System, Staff Involvement, Professional Teams or Committees

A Conscious and Intentional Plan with the skills and processes needed for a winning invitational education program.

A Life Lab of experiences needed for post-school success.

Students can develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when

  • there is a plan for change that is an integral part of the day-to-day operation of a school
  • there is a conscious plan to support the self-concept
    development of all within a school
  • the perception of students, staff, and families
    regarding school relationships, procedures, and
    policies is communicated and modified when it is
    destructive
  • personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills are taught
  • students provide ongoing feedback to educators as to their day-to-day experiences in school, and
  • there is an intentional process for consciously creating an inviting environment for all students.

GWG Assessments Self-Concept Series Resources

  • ITS
  • CANA
  • Florida Key

Invitational Teaching Survey (ITS)
A 43-question diagnostic class climate assessment, taken by students, which gives student input about their classroom experiences and whether they have a feeling of being “invited”; a diagnostic tool to involve students and get their input on ways to improve climate and school relationships; one indicator of ways to support staff growth experiences and plans; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of a school year through pre-post assessment; the school climate assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

Children’s Affect Needs Assessment (CANA)
A 42-question diagnostic curriculum assessment taken by students that provides student input into their classroom guidance curriculum activity selection; a diagnostic tool to involve students and create a sense of student ownership for guidance skill implementation and change (Note: ownership occurs when students “own” a problem and admit, recognize, and acknowledge personal needs and challenges that support assuming responsibility and commitment for change); assessment questions asked in the five essential learning strands of the curriculum of The Grow With Guidance® System; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of the school year through pre-post assessment; the student curriculum assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

      What Did You Discover From Your Self-Assessments?

      Overview of the System School Safety Formula

    • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
    • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program
    • Crisis Plan
    • School Safety

      Schools, families, and communities can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

    • they feel connected with the schooling process
    • they feel comfortable being in a classroom
    • student–teacher and student–student relationships are viewed as a major factor in student safety
    • students see peers as someone to help and not someone to “beat”
    • students have learned the personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills needed to communicate and belong
    • The whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts. — Tommie R. Radd, Ph.D.

    We can create true democratic classrooms that insist ALL students be accountable and responsible. School environments need to be examples of democracy in action. – Tommie R. Radd, PhD

    Remember: The impact of Social Emotional Learning Programs is documented by recent research to increase academic achievement test scores by up to 11 percentile points. The Systems approach demonstrates ways to create an inviting school climate while effectively meeting the learning needs for all students with an RTI process that addresses the needs of the whole child.

    Personal, social, emotional and behavioral skills are the only constant in every situation. The level of development of those skills determines if one will respond or react over time. —Tommie R. Radd, PhD

    Invitational Education Formula

    Students can develop their spirit, purpose and potential when . . .

    • there is a plan for change that is an integral part of the day-to-day operation of a school.
    • there is a conscious plan to support the self-concept development of all within a school.
    • the perception of students, staff, and families regarding school relationships, procedures, and policies is communicated and modified when it is destructive.
    • personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills are taught.
    • students provide ongoing feedback to educators as to their day-to-day experiences in school.
    • there is an intentional process for consciously creating an inviting environment for all students.

    Response To Intervention (RTI) Definition

    Response To Intervention (RTI) is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make changes in instruction or goals, and applying child response data to important educational decisions.

    Assessments

    A 43-question diagnostic class climate assessment, taken by students, which gives student input about their classroom experience and whether they have a feeling of being “invited”; a diagnostic tool to involve students and get their input on ways to improve climate and school relationships; one indicator of ways to support staff growth experiences and plans; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of a school year through pre-post assessment; the school climate assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    A 42-question diagnostic curriculum assessment taken by students that provides student input into their classroom guidance curriculum activity selection; a diagnostic tool to involve students and create a sense of student ownership for guidance skill implementation and change (Note: ownership occurs when students “own” a problem and admit, recognize, and acknowledge personal needs and challenges that support assuming responsibility and commitment for change); assessment questions asked in the five essential learning strands of the curriculum of The Grow With Guidance® System; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of the school year through pre-post assessment; the student curriculum assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    Many in education, psychology, sociology, and related fields have recognized the significant relationship between selfconcept and school achievement. On the basis of available research, it now appears that students who doubt their ability to learn in school carry with them a tremendous educational handicap. The purpose of The Florida Key is to provide teachers, counselors, and related professionals with a relatively simple instrument designed to measure both inferred and professed student self-concept-as-learner. It provides teachers and related professionals insight into students’ perceptions of themselves as learners. The Florida Key identifies and measures selected student behaviors that are believed by classroom teachers to correlate with positive realistic student self-concepts in the area of school success.

    1. All are important and valuable no matter what they think, say, feel, and do.

    2. All show they are remembering their worth by making helpful choices toward themselves and others. They are responsible for helping not hurting self and others.

    3.All are responsible for their choices. This accountability empowers all to make improvements because of their worth.

    How do standards, benchmarks, indicators, and performance observation/evaluation strategies become the foundation of a performance-based system?

    The standards, benchmarks, indicators, and performance observation/evaluation strategies provide the framework for developmental feedback and evidence. This framework is the base for accountability. After the framework is established, clarity of purpose can be communicated to all populations in the schooling process.

    Life Lab

    A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional frame of reference that can be applied throughout life.

    Assessments Used

    1. Children’s Affect Needs Assessment (CANA) Pre/Post (self, other awareness, self control, decision making/problem solving, group cooperation)
    2. Invitational Teaching Survey (ITS) Pre/Post (personally inviting – commitment, consideration, professionally inviting – coordination, proficiency, expectation)
    3. Student Survey– Qualitative Post (Grow With Guidance System Manual page 186) Sixty-seven students from the program completed evaluations NOTE: Most “NO” responses stated that they knew the skill already

    Children’s Affect Needs Assessment (CANA)

    A 42-question diagnostic curriculum assessment taken by students that provides student input into their classroom guidance curriculum activity selection; a diagnostic tool to involve students and create a sense of student ownership for guidance skill implementation and change (Note: ownership occurs when students “own” a problem and admit, recognize, and acknowledge personal needs and challenges that support assuming responsibility and commitment for change); assessment questions asked in the five essential learning strands of the curriculum of The Grow With Guidance® System; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of the school year through pre-post assessment; the student curriculum assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    Invitational Teaching Survey (ITS)

    A 43-question diagnostic class climate assessment, taken by students, which gives student input about their classroom experience and whether they have a feeling of being “invited”; a diagnostic tool to involve students and get their input on ways to improve climate and school relationships; one indicator of ways to support staff growth experiences and plans; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of a school year through pre-post assessment; the school climate assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    Chemical Dependency

    Schools, communities, and families can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

    • The education community and societal groups do not view drug-free school programs in isolation.
    • Schools have an environment in which students are expected to include everyone in activities and projects.
    • The educational community assesses and evaluates existing programs.
    • Educators place personal, social, emotional, and behavioral development at the heart of drug-free school programs.

    Overview of the System Chemical Dependency Formula

    • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
    • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program
    • Crisis Plan

    Preventing Heroin Addiction

    Preventing Heroin Addiction

    Enrichment Programs – Student, Staff and Family Development Resources

    Heroin Defined

    Heroin: A substance derived from the plant, poppy flower. Found in most regions of the world, and created in Southeast and Southwest Asia, Central America and the Mideast.

    Heroin comes in two forms, tar and china. Tar is usually made in Mexico, while the china (hence, “fine china”) comes from the other sections of the world in many colors, shades, and cuts.

    There are many ways to use heroin, including intravenously- with a needle, smoking, using foil; “chasing the dragon”, and snorting the substance.

    Many users each year overdose and die, relapse, get arrested, or stay addicted. Heroin is displayed to be a highly fashionable drug, but is not.

    Slang terms for heroin are: junk, dope, smack, shot, shit, h, etc.

    The onset of a heroin “rush” from a needle is about 3-7 seconds, and lasts about 3 seconds. Heroin is horrible and deadly. Believe me, please. I know what I’m saying, don’t think that it’s cool.

    Brain Imaging Potential

    Recent studies suggest that imaging has the potential to help clinicians determine the most appropriate level of treatment for individual patients and monitor their progress toward recovery. Paulus, Tapert, and Schuckit (2005) performed functional MRI on a group of men entering treatment for methamphetamine addiction while they made decisions during a psychological test.

    Effects of Treatment on the Brain

    Imaging researchers also have been documenting changes that appear to represent brain recovery in response to treatment. One group has applied MRS to evaluate the effects of methadone maintenance therapy on heroin-addicted individuals (Silveri et al., 2004).
