ARRA Success Story: Counselors in Fairfax County, VA

In the spring of 2009, Sue, Jill and Jon-Paul were among 58 counselors in the district who were notified that their jobs would be eliminated due to Fairfax County Public Schools $120 million budget deficit. Through the ARRA, the school district received $23.7 million dollars in stimulus money. Some of the funding was used to save all 58 counselor positions, ensuring that students would receive necessary academic and emotional support. In February 2009, ARRA allocated $100 billion to the U.S. Department of Education with the goal of delivering emergency education funding to fill significant education budget gaps in order to avert layoffs of personnel in school districts and universities across the nation. According to www.recovery.gov, approximately 325,000 education jobs were either created or saved so far.

This video contains a description of 20 of the most well known solution-focused techniques. The solution-focused approach is a simple and effective approach to change was invented and developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg and their co-workers. Initially, the solution-focused approach was applied in the field of psychotherapy. Today, it is applied in many fields. The interest in the approach is growing strongly. In the organizational setting, the approach has often proven its usefulness both in individual coaching and in organizational development. The approach is positive and realistic at the same time. It acknowledges problems without focusing too long on them, it helps making desired results explicit, it helps finding out what works to make progress in the direction of those results and it invites you to do more of what works.

Using PowerPoint and PhotoStory3 to create a Narrated Presentation

Bring your accountability reports (and other presentations) to life with a free program called Microsoft Photo Story 3. This method is very similar to doing narrated PowerPoints although probably a bit easier and with a higher "cool" effect. In this method, you will export your PPT slides as graphics and then use those graphics to narrate within Photo Story 3. Your product is a video. Realize, though, that when you use this technique, the animation within PowerPoint does not transfer. Instead, you will get a panning effect which is also very nice. This video is one of the many you will find on the Data Boot Camp for School Counselors and Administrators - CD available from www.schoolcounselor.com.
