AnalysisResults were not what we expected
Timing of the surveys may have had an impactWe perceived a decrease in students leaving class
to talk with us about stressOur department will continue to collaborate to
determine next steps – we intend to do a broader needs assessment next fall to evaluate where our students need the most support
![Page 14: Stress/Anxiety Intervention at WHS By Kevin Tjoelker](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a10c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ReflectionWas this an effective intervention? YES!
Counselors were in classrooms making connections with our students
Measurable increases in students’ ability to identify healthy coping strategies
Stakeholders played a key role in the development of the intervention – particularly the Social Studies department head and our principal

Professional & Personal Growth
Leadership changesNeed to place more emphasis on involving others
How did I grow?Utilizing the pre- and post-surveys supported my
PGP growth area of Standard 3 Benchmark C:“Identifies student needs through consultation and
assessment; develops individual and group interventions to promote academic and life success.”
First attempt at data for large scale intervention – now I can build on that
Standard 1 Benchmark B
![Page 17: Stress/Anxiety Intervention at WHS By Kevin Tjoelker](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a10c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Professional & Personal Growth
What would I change?Use electronic surveys Involve more peopleFind a better way of measuring success (example:
year to year comparison)
How can I continue to grow?Data is an area where I have grown the most, and
would still like to grow moreWill continue to analyze data to inform and guide
system-wide interventions

ClosingGrowth throughout the process, even if results
were not what I hoped for
I know where I can continue to improve
Thank you to my supervisor and cohort!
