President’s Message

MASCA Spring Conference: Take-Aways

By JENNIFER LISK MASCA President

By ASHLEY GARTH School Counselor, Fairhaven High School

JENNIFER LISK

t has been a personally and professionally rewarding year as MASCA president. Thank you to all who have supported MASCA’s events and initiatives throughout this year. As I have said many times before, this is an exciting time to be a school counselor in Massachusetts. In this issue, a piece written by Katie Gray, MASCA’s liaison to ESE, highlights many of the reasons for this. I encourage you to share this with your faculty and administrators, as well as other stakeholders within your community. The quantitative and qualitative data show that school counselors make a difference. I thank you for making a difference, and I wish you a restful and rejuvenating summer. ■

riving home each day from the MASCA Spring Conference in Hyannis, I reflected on the refreshing energy that came from three days of professional collaboration as well as my first experiences both presenting my own MA Model Implementation poster and reviewing the graduate student posters. The opportunities at MASCA for collaboration with other counselors, administrators, and professionals in the field were endless. This year, a Fairhaven team of K-12 school counselors and RTTT committee members trekked to the Cape for the conference and the Spring RTTT workshop. We eagerly met other counselors and attended workshops to share ideas about general MA Model Implementation, programming, and family engagement.

• Schedule a follow-up meeting with your MASCA team and other colleagues a week or two after the conference to review and share notes and program ideas. Prioritize and plan the implementation of any programs, lessons, or services.

Take-aways

After participating in the MA Model Implementation Institute with a coworker last summer, a colleague and I prepared and presented posters highlighting the college scholarship process and career planning with high school juniors and seniors respectively. (continued on page 2)

• Split up from your team to attend different workshops during each session and then combine workshop notes in a shared Google document. Gather as much information and as many ideas from the workshop presenters as possible.

• Timing is everything. Be realistic about your plans. Maintain your excitement by identifying what can be accomplished this year compared to what you should /could wait to implement in the next academic year. • Family engagement. Consider making school counseling announcements at school athletic events and also performances. Halftime and intermission provide a captive audience. Create a School Counseling Office Facebook and Twitter account to share information.

Take-aways • Use a Survey Monkey Professional account to collect and analyze lesson data. Take advantage of easy data collection, advanced analysis tools that compare survey question data, create graphs and charts, and export data to Excel as needed. • Consider participating in the MA Model Implementation Institute this summer. Learn about the Model in depth and consider practical ways to begin implementation in your district or at your school. You will also work with other counselors who are similarly starting the MA Model implementation process. Everyone is at different stages of implementation. What a wonderful sounding board and support network. In the past, I never attended MASCA on Sunday and, thus, never had the privilege of learning from the graduate student poster sessions. What a gold mine of enthusiasm, progressive ideas, and professionalism.

Take-away Plan to attend the first day of the conference. Graduate students share their ideas, programs, and student support services implemented during their internships. You can meet new counselors to the profession, network, and discuss shared experiences. This year, I met energized graduate students who shared ideas about a productive after-school homework group, grade eight-nine transition, and using social media to reach students. The Spring MASCA Conference marked a few firsts for me as a high school counselor. I can’t wait to share notes and ideas with my fellow counselors and inevitably figure out how to work these new concepts into our MA Model Implementation Plan for this year and next. I look forward to maintaining my new professional contacts and attending future MASCA conferences. ■

ollowing the Boston Marathon bombing, leading scientists called for an autopsy on the brain of one suspect, the deceased older brother. Dr. Robert Cantu and Dr. Robert Stern, co-founders of the Center for the Study of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University, say that an autopsy could help determine if Tamerlan Tsarnaev suffered boxing-related brain damage. We cannot begin to know what evil lurks in the hearts of men and what motivates some to commit atrocities, but we have learned much more about the human brain and the damage caused by repeated head trauma. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a condition found increasingly in athletes engaged in contact sports, especially boxing and football, and in veterans of the battlefield. Tamerlan, who had been boxing since childhood, had become an outstanding Golden Gloves boxer. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the international association of more than 21,00 neurology professionals, says that intentional trauma to the brain— the kind inflicted by boxers—results in measureable, persistent damage. And the damage accumulates long after the boxing ceases. “Punch drunk” syndrome manifests itself in diminished motor and cognitive skills as well as behavior.

AAN considers boxing a serious threat, and it urges steps to reduce the number of direct blows to the head and to increase the monitoring of participants’ neurological health. The Australian Medical Association is even stronger in its opposition. Boxing, it feels, should be banned from the Olympic and Commonwealth Games as well as prohibited for those under the age of 18. In their combined position statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Paediatric Society vigorously oppose boxing for any child or adolescent. In 1983, the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. George Lundberg, created a controversy when he called for a ban on boxing. For both medical and moral reasons, Lundberg still urges an end to the “barbaric” sport whose goal is to inflict maximum harm on the opponent. The amalgam of physiological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that shape human behavior preclude our fully understanding the Marathon bomber’s state of mind. But the evidence on concussions suggests that a look into his brain could provide useful information. Bomber No. 1 may be one more boxing loser. — Letter to the Editor, The Salem News, May 2, 2013, p. 7.

Focus on one sport may increase injury risk WebMD News from HealthDay, April 19, 2013 — Research by Dr. Neeru Jayanthi, director of primary care sports medicine at Loyola University Medical Center, indicates that “young athletes who train intensely for one sport are at greatly increased risk for severe overuse injuries such as stress fractures.” To reduce injury Jayanthi recommends: • Do not spend more hours per week than your age playing sports, and do not spend more than twice as much time

playing organized sports as you spend in gym and unorganized play. • Do not specialize in one sport before late adolescence. • Do not play sports competitively year round. Take a break from competition for one to three months each year (not necessarily consecutively). Take at least one day off per week from training in sports. —http://children.webmd.com/news/20130419/focus -on-one-sport-raises-young-athletes-injury-risk-study.

COUNSELOR’S NOTEBOOK

The College Readiness Payoff By DONNA BROWN MASCA Executive Director

ecently, I attended the ACT State Council meeting at Holy Cross. Among the very interesting pieces of information shared by the ACT reps was a policy report from ACT Research and Policy. Entitled “Readiness Matters: The Impact of College Readiness on College Persistence and Degree Completion,” this report confirms what most professional school counselors intuitively believe. According to ACT’s website, “In determining a student’s chances of college success, this report helps answer the following questions: • Does the level of academic preparation in high school really matter? • Does early monitoring of college readiness make a difference? • What impact does college readiness have on reducing gaps in college degree completion among underrepresented populations? • What impact would greater college readiness have on the number of high school graduates enrolling in and completing college?” Using the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks, 25,000 students who took the ACT and immediately enrolled in either a two or four year postsecondary institution after graduation, were tracked for seven years using National Student Clearinghouse data. The findings were not really surprising. At heart, students who are better prepared as indicated by meeting benchmarks in English Composition, College Algebra, social science courses and/or Biology are better prepared for the rigors of college and are more likely to complete their degree programs. Indeed, for every additional benchmark a student meets, the likelihood of completing a degree in six years increases by 7 to 8 percentage points. Basically, the four major findings are: • Students who are better prepared academically for college have a greater chance of persisting in college and completing a degree. • Using multiple measures of college readiness helps inform students’ likelihood of college success. • Racial/ethnic and family income

gaps in college success rates are reduced when college readiness is taken into account. • Early monitoring of readiness is associated with increased college success. The Policy Report concludes with five recommendations including providing educational and career information to all students and developing a system of

monitoring student performance at all levels from kindergarten through college. Many of the findings will seem to be common sense. However, the data provided and the size of the study, make proving what we as counselors know much easier. The complete report and additional information are available at www.act.org/research. ■

INTERN’S TALE Integrating RTI with School Counseling By JENNIFER KEARY Graduate Student, Fitchburg State University

he profession of school counseling is an ongoing development in the field of education. As education is continuously evolving, the roles of school counselors need to be evolving as well. In the article, “Integrating RTI with School Counseling Programs: Being a Proactive Professional School Counselor” (Ockerman, et al., 2011), the authors discuss the imperative need for role clarification and responsibilities of school counselors. Response to Intervention (RTI) is a recent educational reform that was brought to focus by the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). As of 2010, more than a dozen states legally require RTI; and all but three of the other states support the implementation of RTI through state-

developed RTI guidance documents on their websites. As more schools adopt the implementation of RTI, it is essential for school counselors to establish their roles within the RTI framework. The authors of this article explore how RTI has the potential to work collaboratively with the ASCA National Model’s framework for comprehensive, developmental school counseling programs (CDSCPs). The RTI model is “proactive, collaborative, data-driven, multi-tiered and whole-child focused,” as is ASCA’s framework. RTI is meant to bring change to the way schools identify struggling learners and those with learning disabilities. There has been a significant increase in the identification of those with learning disabilities as well as the over-represen-

tation of minority students within this group. Because of this, IDEA gave states the right to employ “a process that determines if the child responds to scientific, research-based intervention as part of the evaluation procedures when determining eligibility.” This process is RTI. The tiered service delivery model begins with tier one, which involves the general education classroom, where a researchbased core curriculum is implemented. Tier two involves group sessions, typically three-five per week. And tier three involves individual instruction typically five days a week. Students’ movement through tiers should be fluid. They should receive intervention when necessary and without the requirement of special education labels.

Role of counselors ASCA asserts that professional school counselors are stakeholders in the development and implementation of RTI within their school buildings. Their role should be supportive as well as active in the implementation of RTI through tieredmodel counseling, data-driven procedures including the documentation of students’ movement through the tiers, and social advocacy. Counselors should be able to determine needed school-wide and group-based interventions through overall trends in standardized testing, course enrollment patterns, attendance data, report cards, school improvement plans, and disciplinary reports. Counselors should also generate data related to previous interventions within their programs to develop and refine future interventions. The authors stress the need for more research-based intervention in the area of school counseling, and they encourage school counselors to engage in the RTI process and “be able to speak to the research that exists and to capitalize on those programs and interventions that do have a research base.” The authors also note that further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of RTI models as well as the counselor’s role within the RTI framework. ■
