Thanks to Counselor's Toolbox!

Thank you, thank you for the Counselor's Toolbox. I have used this for years because it is a wonderful resource and can be adapted for just about any grade level. I also use it to do community outreach programs.

What Others Say about Counselor's Toolbox:

I discovered the Counselor's Toolbox through a fellow counselor and was instantly hooked. I knew I needed to have my own copy. The Toolbox is full of useful simple templates for letters of recommendation, powerpoint presentations, and guidance work. I have ordered books that promised templates or letters that guidance counselors could use, but they were very disappointing. The Toolbox on the other hand is worth every dollar and makes my job as the college advisor so much easier. I recently used the documents to help plan a Career Day at our school and it was a success. I also use the PowerPoint Presentations for Workshops with my parents, and my students.
