Well, I just went on my first counseling interview. I wish I had wonderful news to tell you, but I was so nervous, I think I came off a little stupid. They asked me questions about the Safe and Civil Act, 504, Behavioral Intervention and Crisis Intervention. At the time, my mind was blank. I knew it was a no-go when they asked "if I have a problem speaking spanish." The good news is that I know what I need to ask our counselors at school to allow me to take part in, and might even start taking Spanish lessons. I am looking at the experience as an opportunity to become a better interviewer:)

Racquel...what a wonderful opportunity to get some experience...maybe it wasn't as bad as you think :) hmmmm, I guess I need to look up the Safe and Civil Act too. Congrats on taking that first step!
ReplyDeleteI am not too concerned about it being bad- I was just unprepared. Truth is, when I applied, I had no idea I would get a call the next day. I looked it up and it is material that guides the school on matters such as behavior and structure. I utilize much of the material (CHAMPS) in my classroom, just did not know it fell under Safe and Civil.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement.
I looked it up too! hee hee
