Work with a partner(s) and practice how you might use Plan B in this scenario. You may make up your own if you like!


 * Gabe rarely comes to school and when he does, he goes home early. Parents are at much a loss as he is.*

Concerns- Student: Doesn't like school, it is way too hard and she has missed too much already.

Parent: Worried about Gabe and wants the school to do something to fix this because they have tried everything.

Teachers: How can Gabe catch up? There is so much work that he has missed.

Counselor: Worries about his academic standing and knows that this issue has deep roots. Wants away to appease the parents, teachers and find a way for Gabe to feel comfortable in school.

Counselor's jumping off point: Gabe, I've noticed that... Mr./Mrs. Richmond, I've noticed that... Teacher, I've noticed that...

(Student/parent/teacher: don't be afraid to make it difficult for your "counselor," she can handle it!)
