Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)

RISE Feedback:

REFLECT: I concur with "Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services" because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline's intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.

INQUIRE: Can you further explain what "closing-the-gap action plans" are? 

SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline's MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 

ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed "For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying" as "Following Trish Hatch's MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…"  for a more weighted argument?

Classmate Response 1- Ashley

Identify areas of personal bias and increase cultural competency through self-reflection activities.

“School counselors are advocates for the equitable treatment of all students in school and in the community.” (ASCA) After taking the implicit bias test, I am fully aware of my personal biases. The self-reflection activity I find helpful is journaling. It lets me be transparent as I write and sort through my thoughts. I am willing to challenge my beliefs and become more open-minded and understanding.

Create professional development activities for school-level staff to explore systems of the school negatively affecting students of color.
Here are some professional development activities for school-level staff to explore systems in the school that negatively affect students of color:

• Facilitating a discussion to help staff members become aware of their biases and how they may affect their interactions with students of color. There are many resources available online that can be used to facilitate this discussion.
• Examining school data on discipline and achievement to reveal if students of color are being disproportionately disciplined and underachieving. Although this is a difficult conversation, it is essential to have it in order to address the problem.
• Reading and discussing books and articles about race and racism. There are many books and articles available that can help staff members learn more about race and racism in the United States and develop a better understanding of the challenges that students of color face.
• Engaging in anti-racism training. Many anti-racism training programs are available to help staff members develop the skills and knowledge they need to be anti-racist educators.

 Classmate response 2-  Areva

Identify areas of personal bias and increase cultural competency through self-reflection activities.

I definitely have a bias of being more conservative than liberal politically . Even though I have never identified as republican or democrat since I was able to vote. However, it is important as a school counselor not to push my beliefs on the students I am assigned to. They come to my office because they are entrusting me that I will be a great help to them and trust me with their deepest thoughts. As well as what they plan to do for their future.  According to ASCA School counselors recognize and distinguish individual and group differences and strive to value all students and groups equally. School counselors promote the equitable treatment of all students in school and the community.

Create professional development activities for school-level staff to explore systems of the school negatively affecting students of color.

Having Difficult Conversations: By defining antiracist work, improving inclusion for various groups, managing diversity for making schools safe, carrying out equitable practices, and enabling diverse narratives across staff training. In the trainings it would be good to provide opportunity for self-reflection to ensure each individual is keeping up with their . Making sure to not treat bias like a dirty word. Usually when people hear the word bias people go to a negative place. Regardless of race, gender, age, or background, we all have biases. When administration and staff  normalize discussions about biases and habits of our minds, we decrease defensiveness and, instead, generate awareness.
