What this course covers
The course walks through the lessons, from session planning to documentation and records. You will see prompts for individual counseling, group work, academic planning, family coordination, data, crisis safety, and college and career readiness. Each lesson gives you a starting prompt and ways to adapt it.
How the lessons connect
The lessons build in a natural order. You start with one-to-one sessions, then move to explanations, groups, academic plans, family coordination, data, crisis safety, college and career, and documentation. You can also jump to the lesson you need today.
How to use prompts well
Give the AI a clear role, the task, and the details that matter. Ask for a short draft, a warm tone, and a student-friendly reading level. Then edit with your professional judgment and your knowledge of the student.
Who this course is for
This course is for school counselors in elementary, middle, and high school settings. It is also useful for counselors who split their time across buildings or support large caseloads. No technical background is needed.
Safety and privacy
Keep personal student information out of AI tools unless your school approves the tool for that use. Use non-identifying details, change names, and avoid sensitive records. You are responsible for reviewing every draft for privacy, accuracy, and fit.
Your next step
Start with the first lesson and try one prompt this week. Pick a task you already have, such as a session plan or a family email. Save the prompts that save you time, and build your own set.
