Description

You know that feeling when it’s Friday, and you can’t even explain what you did all week?

Use-of-time tracking is supposed to help- but too often, it feels like just another way to keep school counselors in check.

This week on Graded, we’re pulling apart one of the most pushed- but least supported- tools in school counseling.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why it’s recommended in the ASCA model—and required in some states

  • Why real-world counselors struggle to make it stick

  • What happens when it’s used for control instead of clarity

  • And how it can be helpful—if you’re the one holding the reins

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working nonstop but still have no proof of it…
this episode might feel like a breath of fresh air.
