Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week.
The theme of this year’s week is “Better Together.” To help support your success, I often collaborate with other school staff, such as our school psychologist, school social worker and school nurse.
We are all here for you, working together to serve your needs as you navigate school and life. Just like I do, you often work in teams to achieve a common goal. “Little Women” author Louisa May Alcott said, “It takes two flints to make a fire.”
You’ve probably also heard the phrase “two heads are better than one.” Look around, how are you working in teams today? Are you collaborating on school projects, helping a friend or playing a sport? We are so much stronger together – and, sometimes, you encounter work that requires more than one person to complete.
As your school counselor, I’m here to help you build your teamwork skills so you can be successful in groups both big and small. If you’re struggling with teamwork, come see me, and let’s talk about how you can develop these skills. I work on my teamwork skills every day. Have a great Monday!
