If you’re new here, every year Ms. Kierstead wears a different tacky shirt from Thanksgiving to winter break. The shopping has already begun. Here’s a sneak peek…there may or may not be a specific theme this year, for the first time ever 😹
Just your reminder that schools have emergency plans and some staff, let’s just say…me, have specific roles and some other staff have backup roles in case the original person (me again) is shot and dead. But yes, please, come at me for supporting trans kids.
Neil! @TheGoodNewsPod - fellow cat owner and re: the bodega cat episode - check out the book “Shop Cats of NY”!!!! There is also a Bodega Cats instagram account and website :)
Oh my gosh, thank you to @august_schools for my @lushcosmetics Garden Party box! I never win anything so being drawn from their booth at the @ASCAtweets #ASCA22 conference made my day! ❤️ #selfcare One happy school counselor right here 😁
Just me doing my thing ♥️ @ASCAtweets #ASCA22
I also don’t want this to discourage our brilliant colleagues from applying to present at next year’s conference! Ugh. I am so mad. And sad. I’m smad. (Name that show if you appreciate my use of humor right now so I don’t yell-cry). @ASCAtweets
PS - yes I myself have taken pix of slides to share on Twitter for YEARS. It has always been useful and helpful and encouraged. Until this year. Times have changed, friends. @ASCAtweets
…I myself have been targeted and while I have thick skin, this needs to not be a thing next year. I care about my colleagues and our profession. Also, how did these groups get ahold of our virtual presentations? Sigh. Take care of each other, friends!! /end @ASCAtweets
…& as we know, handouts are for conference attendees only, so our presentation slides should be also. I have seen far too many hate groups taking our slides & targeting school counselors from this year’s conf & that is the last thing we (& our students) need! 2/3 @ASCAtweets
IMO: next year @ASCAtweets should issue some sort of statement to discourage taking pix of presenters’ slides and putting them on Twitter/SM. I totally understand the value for those not in attendance but that is what the handouts in the app are for…1/3
I said what I said.
Update: I did not do the smart thing and just ship stuff home - I was *that* person with the🚨HEAVY🚨suitcase. I’m sure I’m on a black list somewhere now. 🤷♀️ #ASCA22 #schoolcounselorlife
Here is Ms. Kierstead, wondering why she even bothered to shower this morning because she just sweat off 10 pounds getting from her hotel to her gate. Although, she is missing #ASCA22 already and all her fabulous people. Counting down to Atlanta 2023!!!
So um…I now have an obscene amount of stress balls to lug back to Maine for my students. My suitcase is going to be overweight. I do this literally every conference I go to. WHY AM I LIKE THIS. 😂🤦♀️#asca22 #schoolcounselorlife
I got to meet @GavinGrimmVA!!!! He autographed my book and was so kind and sweet. He is a total rockstar! @ASCAtweets #ASCA22
Since #asca22 is in Texas this year, Ms. Kierstead has been wearing her support for these kids every single day. @ASCAtweets @GavinGrimmVA
Gavin Grimm in the house!! I was a part of his friends of the court briefing and I mention him in all my presentations!! Total fan girl moment!! And his book comes out tomorrow (but I already bought mine from the @ASCAtweets bookstore!) @GavinGrimmVA #ASCA22
When others say about students who are LGBTQIA+, “it’s just a phase”, respond with “and what if it is a phase?” The student will learn that they were affirmed and loved. That is what we should do. #preventsuicide #ASCA22 #LGBTQ+

I have a trans kid. At 5yo, he told us his correct pronouns and gender. Transition at that point was communicating that to everyone so he wasnt misgendered. At 6, transition was a haircut and letting him go shopping. That's all the transitioning any young child is doing. 🧵

When Tier 1 is weak, lots of students look like they need intervention. When Tier 2 is weak, lots of students look like they need Tier 3 or special education. Strong investments in Tier 1 & Tier 2 is a critical starting place for prevention. Access gaps = outcome gaps.

Tired of stopping lessons to deal with behaviors? Tell kids how your class works. Use these “prevention phrases” to keep kids from complaining about what you are doing for others in the class.
These questions legitimately invoked so much anger in me, but I know it's not an isolated curiosity, and I think a severe lack of understanding of school counselors' role contributes to the devaluing of the entire profession. So, here's a thread to educate yourself. 🧵
@AnnaMSutter What does a school counselor do? Never had any interaction with one. What is your job? Is it important? If so, how so?
What do you think would be the best lesson to teach society in order to improve mental health awareness and reduce stigma?
One key to changing school culture is understanding that everyone is looking for a sense of belonging. If we can provide that for students and staff we create a great place to learn and work. Drop your #1 key to improving culture 👇 #schoolclimate #thatonekid
