This presentation can be edited to make it fit your exact needs. The beauty of being able to personalize this presentation for yourself is that it is easily adapted to different levels ranging from kindergarten to high school. I use this (or a similar one) at the beginning of each school year so that staff members are all on the same page regarding my program.

There are 4 videos that support your presentation. They are thought-provoking and entertaining ways to get your audience's attention and increase buy-in.

This presentation includes 29 slides that have music, transitions, and animations to help to hold interest. It is easily personalized and customized and includes a master slide that you can copy and paste into the location where additional information is desired.

You may want to rearrange the slides to make this presentation fit your needs. I have them arranged the way that makes sense to me, but that may not be the best way for you.

Websites and videos are NOT embedded but are links. I do not own them or control them, so if there is a problem with a broken link or something else, please let me know so that I can repair, replace, or fix the presentation for you. Anytime you have technology incorporated, you risk having related issues.

I appreciate communication so that I can provide the best possible service for you. In the event that a link does not work, please contact me via the “QUESTIONS” page or can email me directly at CounselorBevsStore@gmail.com , and I will do my best to remedy the situation for you!! I want to provide the best possible product for your use.

**NOTE*** links do not work in editing mode in PowerPoint. They are only active in presentation mode. Please be aware of this. Embedded videos will work in both editing and presentation mode in PowerPoint.

**NOTE** If you are using a Chromebook and/or Google slides, some functions are lost, but the lesson should still present well. If embedded videos do not start for you, click on the word-based link, "CLICK HERE" or the screenshot of the page to start the video. After uploading to your Google Drive, click the file and then open it as a Google Slide. I have included word-based links, QR codes, as well as video-based links in case you have difficulty getting videos to play.

As always, if there is a lesson that you need to have created specifically for your needs, please let me know. I am happy to listen to your ideas to extend the coverage of all ASCA Counseling Standards & Benchmarks. Just let me know your ideas, and I will do the work for you!
