2. Process Data/ Hours Summary Semester II Total Direct Service Hours = 67 hours & 15 minutes Semester II Total Indirect Hours= 77 Semester II Total Hours= 144 Hours & 15 Minutes Practicum I & II Total Direct Hours=147 Hours & 30 Minutes Practicum I & II Total Indirect Hours= 189 Hours & 20 Minutes Practicum I & II Cumulative Hours= 336 Hours & 50 Minutes 40 % of 300 Hours= At Least 120 Direct Hours 60% of 300 Hours= At Least 180 Indirect Hours With Certification in the Primary Setting, I attest that I have logged at least 300 hours at Mill Creek Elementary under the Supervision of Jeanine Riggert-Milke. At least 120 Hours (40% of 300) were spent in direct student contact whereas at least 180 hours (60% of 300) were spent in indirect services.

3. Individual Sessions With D--- • For this project I met with an individual student for six weeks to work on behavior management skills. • I collected Perceptual Data from both the student and his mother as well as his teacher. • I collected Results Based Data from the student’s teacher.

4. Student Information • D--- is a second grade student who was referred to the counselor for help with behavior problems. • D--- frequently has difficulty concentrating on work and causes disruptions daily. • At the time D--- was referred for services, his assigned classroom seat was the safety seat. • D--- frequently “pouts” when he does not get his way or when he does not want to do his work. • When pouting, D--- does not make eye-contact, is completely non-verbal, and non-responsive.

5. Perceptual Data • Perceptual data was generated from pre and post tests focusing on behavior given to both D---’s teacher and his mother. • D--- was rated on a scale from 1-3 on behavior management skills. • D---, D---’s teacher, and his mother also provided perceptual data on counselor effectiveness at the end of the six weeks.

6. Results Based Data • Results based data was gathered from the teacher. • Twice a week the teacher filled out a behavior quick check form for the student. • The student was rated on a scale of 1-3, 1= Some of the time, 2= Most of the time, & 3= All of the time on specified areas of concern with classroom behaviors. • The checklist was filled out at the end of the morning and again at the end of the afternoon. • The teacher also tracked D---’s safety seat visits during the six weeks of counseling.

7. Individual Session Breakdown • At the beginning of each session D--- and I went over his behavior quick check for the day. • We discussed strategies for improvement and self-management. • We took a solution-focused approach and started each session with D--- telling me one good thing that he was able to do in class that day. • We discussed issues as needed and role-played classroom scenarios and scenarios at home where I would present a challenge and he would have to problem solve to find a solution.

11. Things to Consider * It is important to note, during week 5, D---’s mother went to jail. • D--- was not informed as to where his mother was, all he knew was that she left and he couldn’t call her. • D--- described feeling sad and confused and a little bit distracted.

12. Considerations Continued * One might note D---’s morning during week five was a bit of a set-back. * It is important to look at all of the data! * After meeting with the counselor and discussing his feelings about the situation at home, and discussing strategies for improvement for the rest of the afternoon, he was able to adjust and make the necessary improvements!

18. Summary of Results • Overall, the six-weeks D--- and I shared discussing strategies to help with behavior issues at school provided positive results. • D--- made gains at home as seen in the parent perceptual data as well as in the classroom as seen in the teacher perceptual and results based data. • Despite a few setbacks, D--- was able to carry strategies discussed in counseling over into the classroom with a few reminders. • D--- continues to meet with the counselor on an as needed basis.

19. Suggestions for Future Practice • Remember to communicate often with parents/ guardians about the process and not only the product of counseling. • Share data/ charts with students so they can see their growth & gain a sense of accomplishment. • Celebrate Success!
