Imagine you have successfully implemented your evidence-based intervention. It is your job to communicate the outcomes of your program to your stakeholders or advisory council.

You will demonstrate your ability to inform your team via multiple mediums. Imagine that your group meets online and you need to incorporate images, screenshots, videos, Excel spreadsheets, documents, pre- or post-assessments, and so forth to enhance your presentation and clearly illustrate the benefits of your selected intervention. This assignment is a presentation to your School Counseling Advisory Council, not a traditional paper, so you will want to utilize the skills we have practiced through the course to demonstrate your technological adeptness.

1. You may also refer to pages 109-120 of your Facilitating Evidence-Based, Data-Driven School Counseling text for a template.

2. Pretend this is one of the first meetings of your School Counseling Advisory Council. In a slide or two, identify the purpose of the advisory council, membership of the advisory council, and explain ethical considerations (such as limits to confidentiality) that may impact the type of information reported to the council.

3. Explain how your academic-based goal was selected based on the schoolwide program plan needs assessment. Use a logic model to open the discussion (see the logic model templates in the resources; and see also Chapter 3 of your Facilitating Evidence-Based, Data-Driven School Counseling text).

4. Justify the selected evidence-based intervention as a component of a comprehensive school counseling program. In other words, when proposing the intervention, what evidence did you have from the literature that supported its use?

5. Discuss the results of the intervention, incorporating information from your program evaluation to measure effectiveness.

6. Propose future actions to sustain the school counseling program that are based on the results of your evaluation. This is your opportunity to advocate for your program and the role of the school counselor, but be sure you are doing so in a way that is both appropriate and accurate.
