Free Training:
From Referral Chaos to Results:
The Small-Group System You Didn't Learn in Grad School
Choose the right students, get teacher buy-in, run focused sessions, and show what worked.
FREE ready-to-use small group + PD certificate included!
In this free training, you'll learn:
1
Stop guessing who belongs in the group
Use a simple referral-to-fit process to identify Tier II needs, screen students, and build a group that's set up to work—before the first session begins.
2
Get the group on the calendar—without the scheduling circus
Coordinate with teachers, protect instructional time, and create a realistic six-week rhythm you can actually maintain.
3
Keep the group on track—and prove it worked
Use a repeatable 25-minute structure to boost engagement, manage behavior, collect just-enough data, and confidently decide whether students exit, repeat, or need something different.
This training is a
must attend if you've ever thought...
- “When am I supposed to fit small groups into my schedule?”
- “Why does everyone think I can just put that student in a group?”
- “How do I know who actually belongs—and who needs something different?”
- “How do I keep the group from turning into playtime or chaos?”
- “What data do I collect without creating another full-time job?”
- “The group ended...now what?”
- “I just want someone to show me the whole process—in order.”
A Note From Rachel...
Small groups can make a huge impact. Getting them up and running is the hard part.
When I first started running small groups, I knew they could make a difference. But no one had shown me what happens between getting a referral and seeing a result.
Who belongs? How do I get teachers on board? What if one student's behavior takes over? What data actually matters? And after the last session—then what?
The problem isn't that school counselors don't understand the value of small groups. It's that we're rarely given a clear, start-to-finish process for making them work inside a real school day.
That's exactly what I'm giving you in this free training.
Together, we'll move through a simple Referral-to-Results system for what to do before, during, and after your group. You'll also use a Small-Group Launch Map to turn what you're learning into a plan for one real group at your school.
My goal is for you to leave knowing exactly what to do next—without figuring it out as you go.
And when you register, you'll get a complete, ready-to-use small group so you can put the system into action right away.
