Pixar Week: Small Fry 

1/11/2013

2 Comments

 
Pixar Week is almost over, but I still have a lot of excellent resources for you.

Today's short film has a funny group counseling scene. I know many students have questions about what small groups are like and frankly, many school counselors (like myself) wonder how to implement them in the best possible way.

I created a video podcast (right) to help answer some of your questions. Please post additional questions in the comments section below so that everyone can benefit from the discussion.
Pixar's short film, Small Fry (left), could be a fun way to reflect on our expectations of small group counseling.

Some of your students may think that a group is all about sitting in a circle and crying. Some may think it's a punishment or a negative reflection of their character. It's important to start a group with a clear purpose, so that everyone feels comfortable and prepared for the sessions ahead.

For more information about small groups, check out my small group page. You will find documents, activities, and more!

Wow, so great to hear what your group program is like. We've got lots of similarities! And how fun that we were both thinking about sharing group ideas at the same time!
