I discovered the Counselor's Toolbox through a fellow counselor and was instantly hooked. After reviewing the contents of the CD, I knew I needed to have my own copy. I was fortunate to order the 2006 version which is full of useful, simple templates and PowerPoint presentations that any guidance counselor can use. I have ordered books that promised templates or letters 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 parents and my students. If you do not own a copy of this amazing resource, then your professional development library is not complete. Susan deserves a big thank you for sharing her years of expertise and hard work with the rest of us counselors.
Malinda D., MS. Ed NYC Department of Education Guidance Counselor Counselors Toolbox is a valuable resource for any guidance office. It would be especially useful for the new counselor or anyone who looking for the convenience of having necessary forms at their fingertips. The PowerPoint presentations are terrific and has helped me in various parent night events from general college admissions information to financial aid night. Everything I needed for an informative presentation is there. It was obviously developed by someone who knew the daily in's and out's of a counseling office. I highly recommend it. Pam Jacobs, M.
