250. Sessions Provided Data vs Student Progress Data
Episode 250
Tuesday, 27 May, 2025
Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified! We’re wrapping up our May series on all things data with an important conversation on the two key types of data school counselors should be collecting for their end of the year reports: sessions provided data and student progress data. In this episode, I break down exactly what these two types of data are, how they help you advocate for your role, and how to collect and organize them simply and effectively. I’ll also share my favorite tools, from color-coded Google Calendars to self-assessments and behavior surveys, and how you can use them to show your impact and prepare for next year with confidence. In this episode, you’ll learn: The difference between sessions provided data and student progress data How to use your Google Calendar to track sessions by student or group Tips for setting up a simple counseling log or sign-in sheet Why student self-assessments and behavior surveys are essential for tracking progress How this data supports advocacy and strengthens your counseling program Join the IMPACT Membership Want access to hundreds of counseling resources, monthly exclusive trainings (with PD certificates), and a supportive community of school counselors?
