How to Support and Build Rapport with Teachers

Listen in to the full episode below: 

This episode of School Counseling Simplified is all about building strong relationships with teachers. I am sharing four practical strategies that school counselors can use to collaborate more effectively with the teachers in their building. From conducting needs assessments to offering supplemental lessons and organizing fun staff activities, I'm providing you with a roadmap for strengthening those crucial counselor-teacher partnerships.

Some highlights from this episode:

• The Importance of a needs assessment to understand what teachers are struggling with and how you can best support them.

• Offering "as-needed" counseling lessons on specific topics is a great way to provide just-in-time support for teachers and students.

• Building rapport through self-care activities and simply being present in the teacher's lounge can go a long way in showing teachers you're on their team.

• Pro Tip: Counselors get out of your office and be more visible around campus to strengthen relationships with teachers.
