80-20 School Counseling Mandates: Not Quite the "Win" We Expected

School for School Counselors Podcast

Are you grappling with 80-20 expectations? Do you feel the pressure of tracking every minute of your day while managing a huge caseload?
In theory, the idea of 80-20 is good, where 80% of counseling services directly impact students, with the remaining 20% of efforts supporting these services. However, a recent 80-20 mandate shows the complexities of its real-world implementation, the hurdles encountered by counselors, and the unsettling realities that have emerged.
This episode further discusses the expectation for school counselors to log their time usage, leading to concerns about overwork and perceptions of underperformance. As part of this, we highlight the crucial role of advocacy at both state and national levels and explore the potential power of social media as a tool for raising your voice.
Listen now to become better informed- and ready for advocacy!
