Understanding the College Admissions Process for Prospective Performing Arts Majors
Monday August 5, 2024 10:40am - 11:25am EDT
303
This session is intended to educate high school guidance counselors on how the college admissions process differs for prospective performing arts majors from that of the typical incoming college freshman. Often times our high school students do not realize until it is too late that they need to submit pre-screening videos, prepare for on campus auditions, and be admitted to specific program areas in addition to the college as a whole. Being unprepared can cost students valuable time and money as a late entry to a performing arts program will inevitably delay a student's college graduation. This session will discuss what we can do throughout a student's high school career to ensure that they have the best foundational coursework and advance knowledge to help them successfully navigate the college admissions process.

Supporting Parents with Anxious Children - A Book Study
Tuesday August 6, 2024 11:40am - 12:25pm EDT
304
Parenting an anxious child means facing constant challenges and questions: When should parents help children avoid anxiety-provoking situations, and when should they encourage them to face their fears? Left untreated, anxiety disorders can make it hard for students to get schoolwork done or study. It may affect their relationships with peers and teachers, too. In some cases, students with anxiety disorders miss a lot of school days. Or they may avoid school altogether.

The SISP team at Cox Mill Elementary will share how they developed and implemented a parent book study to support student wellness goals and address the area of emotional regulation. Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD by Eli R. Lebowitz, PhD. is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Through this book study, parents learned how to alleviate their children’s anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children’s symptoms.

Student Mentoring Program = Greater Sense of Belonging and Community
Tuesday August 6, 2024 1:35pm - 2:20pm EDT
403
The purpose of this session is to share how we implemented a school-wide Staff Mentoring program to support students in 4th and 5th grade who rated themselves low on the student wellness survey. Specifically, in the areas of sense of belonging and/or indicating having no supports in their life. We used the Panorama intervention called, 2 x 10, and matched students with parent permission to a staff mentor. During this session we will share the resources we used, what worked well, the lessons we learned as well as input/feedback from those involved in this intervention (family members, staff members and students). As a result of attending this session, those interested should be ready and equipped to start a similar program at their site.
