How to Collect and Share Data for Your Small Groups

You're ready to start using small groups in your high school, but you need to be able to measure their effectiveness and have something tangible to show for your endeavors. The key to success is to plan to collect and share small group data from the start.   If you have resistance from admins or fellow high school counselors, data can be highly compelling to show the value of utilizing small groups. The data you collect can shape their perspective, proving that small groups are worth the effort. It's just a matter of being consistent with your data collection plan and sharing those results with your colleagues.   In this episode, I'm sharing how to collect small group data effectively, how to share the data collected to show its value to your fellow staff, the different types of data you can gather, the value of collecting perception data, and how to get teachers' involvement in the process.   Resources Mentioned: Resource: High School Counseling Data Collection Ideas Guide Resource: Small Group Data Spreadsheet Book: Making Data Work by Young and Kaffenberger Podcast: Episode 42, How to Use Data in Your High School Counseling Program Without Overthinking It Private Podcast: Small Group Counseling Playlist Leave your review for School Counseling Conversations on Apple Podcasts   Connect with Lauren: Sign up for the free, 3-day prep for High School Counseling Job Interviews Visit my TpT store Send me a DM on Instagram: @counselorclique Follow me on Facebook Send me an email: [email protected] Join the Clique Collaborative Full show notes on website: https://counselorclique.com/episode114
