Slide #1 Title Slide: List your school name and indicate that this is a results “sample” (because it is only one sample of the many that occur in the school counseling department.) What you say: Staff, thank you for coming and being here on time. Let’s get started. First we’d like to thank Dr. Riley for having us here today and for supporting the work of the school counseling program. We will share with you an example of one of the many guidance curriculum activities in the school counseling department. This year, we measured the impact of the guidance curriculum we created to address behavior referral rates in the 5 th grade and to asses the Spring 2007 CHKS results about body image and teasing.
Slide #4 . Process Data: What did the counselors do and for whom? This data is located in the Action Plan and Results Report. Include what you did, when you did it, for whom you did it, for how long (number of times and how long each time). You would also want to include the title of any curriculum used. What you say: So what did we do? We scheduled to come into every 5 th grade classroom and delivered a school counselor generated lesson during the month of November on creating a positive body image; techniques on how to recognize positive and negative messages that influence body image; the effects of verbal bullying, as well as strategies to deal with verbal bullying in school.
In 2007, the CHKS data showed that 47 % of the students were teased because of the way they look and 49% did not feel comfortable with their bodies. Of course none of us want our students to feel uncomfortable with who they are, yet alone be teased for who they are. This information alone would be reason to intervene, but the CHKS also tells us that…. Put numbers into a bar graph

Slide #6 Perception data continued: add a couple more pre-post data pieces that you believe will have the most impact and be most beneficial to your presentation. While you may have collected results on several different ASK (Attitudes, Knowledge and Skills) items, it is best not to share every pre-post item as it will make the presentation too long. Instead, select the most appropriate ones that will support your message – and share the others in a hand-out. What you say: Before the guidance lesson, 36% of the students thought that images of models depicted on media were the real measure of beauty.; Afterwards it dropped to 16% giving us a good indicator of how students internalized the lesson and how media influences them .This shows a decrease of more than 50 %
Slide #5 Perception data (Attitude, Knowledge or Skill): List here the results of your pre-post tests. What you say: Pre-post test were given to students. As you can see, before the lesson, on average, only 15 % of student demonstrated knowledge of promotion/retention criteria; after the guidance lesson, 100% of students’ demonstrated knowledge of retention criteria. This is because we worked with the students (and thank you to the teachers who assisted us when we needed it) until every student knew the promotion requirements policy – after all, which student deserves not to know? In addition, we actually presented two lessons in each rather than the one we originally planned, as we realized it would take longer than expected to get these results. So thank you for your flexibility. Write % of increase

Hands-on activities worked well and according to the data these activities helped students build the skills/objectives of the guidance lesson Do not use double-sided pre and post-tests to reduce confusion and amount of data unable to use, some students didn’t indicate which side was pre and which was post Make sure to set aside enough time for pre and post-test when planning curriculum
