Small Groups That Actually Work: From Referral to Results
FREE ready-to-use small group + PD certificate included!
In this training, you'll learn:
1
How to find the RIGHT students for your small groups
Take the guesswork out of referrals, student selection, and permission so you can confidently identify which students will benefit from Tier II small-group support.
2
How to actually get your small groups on the calendar
Learn practical ways to find time in an already-packed school day, coordinate with teachers, minimize missed instruction, and create a structure you can realistically stick with.
3
How to run groups that get RESULTS
Keep students engaged, manage behavior, collect meaningful data without overcomplicating it, and confidently decide whether students should exit, repeat, or be referred for additional support.
This training is a
must attend if you've ever thought...
- “When am I supposed to fit small groups into my schedule?”
- “How do I get teachers on board with pulling students from class?”
- “How do I know which students actually belong in a group?”
- “Referrals and permission forms are turning into another job!”
- “How do I keep students engaged AND manage behavior?”
- “I know I need data...but what am I actually supposed to collect?”
- “The group ended—now what?”
- “I just want someone to give me a step-by-step process!”
A Note From Rachel...
When I first started running small groups, I knew they could make a huge impact—but actually getting them up and running was another story.
Who should be in the group? How do I manage referrals and permission? When am I supposed to fit this into my schedule? How do I coordinate with teachers when everyone has a different schedule and no one wants students missing instruction? What do I do when students won't engage—or one student's behavior starts taking over the whole group?
And then, even after you've managed to run the group...how do you know if it actually worked?
The problem isn't that school counselors don't know small groups are important. It's that we're rarely given a clear, start-to-finish process for actually making them work.
That's exactly what I'm going to give you in this training.
You'll use your Small-Group Launch Map to follow along, take notes, and turn what you're learning into a practical plan you can use at your school.
My goal is for you to leave feeling like you finally know what to do before, during, AND after your small groups—instead of figuring it out as you go.
