Activity Description and Summary
Last spring I assisted Kathryn Gold, the testing administrator for my school, SEEALL Academy in Brooklyn, NY. I approached her about helping her with the New York Schools' State English & Language Arts and Math Exams that are taken every year. She was glad for me to help and explained my duties and role. During this testing period, I served as a proctor and helped monitor the test takers. My role also included handing out and picking up the tests.
Program Outcome Rationale
The activity's relation to the program outcome of establishing leadership was summarily reached during this exercise. The conducting of such important testing requires stern discipline and formalized approaches that require a visionary approach. This theme is important and relates directly to establishing a solid teamwork between faculty as well. By working together with Kathryn, a new standard was set school wide that others may follow.
Standardized Test Process
SEEALL's testing procedures are straight forward and focus on simplicity. Students are gathered in a large classroom and are directed to clear and stagger their desks. All extra materials are left outside the classroom. The tests are then handed out and placed faced down until all students...
At that point the students are told to turn over the materials and a set of instructions is verbally issued to the students by the test administrator. At the conclusion of this announcements, the testing begins. Those who finish the test early may turn the test in and take a break at their desk. The students are released after all tests are turned in and they have been debriefed about their experience.
My role in this procedure was complementary. I served as a proctor and handed out tests to the students. My duties included monitoring the students and answering any questions about the tests. Many times students asked for the correct answers, or hints about the questions during this time.
The standardized testing philosophy in our school reflects an attention to detail as it is viewed as a major event during the school year. Students are prepared for this testing and understand its importance in the quality of their education. Applying the strict rules laid out in the testing procedures manual demonstrates an overall approach that respects the intentions and outcomes of standardized testing.

Rachel needs to be made aware of the small steps she needs to take to make big changes in her life, like becoming independent. Asking her why she did not avail herself of the internship program, why she does not seek to learn how to do more domestic duties in the hopes of being independent, and how she expects to function without transportation are all important questions to motivate her
If a student feels uncomfortable with the idea that he has to follow some counselor sessions, he should think this way: "positive effects of receiving personal counseling suggest that any counselor in training would benefit from the experience, which is consistent with personal counselling requirements instituted by many programs nationwide" (Mancillas, Adriea). The newest methods in Counselor Programs are the ones who have a technological base: "Counselor educators can promote pedagogical
