Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are? 
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…”  for a more weighted argument?

What are the ethical concerns surrounding intervention efforts? 
“Careful attention to legal and ethical issues relative to selecting, implementing, and evaluating is a key component of the intervention process… The major issues in this area include (1) intervention strategies, (2) intervention effectiveness, (3) possible undesirable side effects and outcomes, (4) parent involvement, (5) student involvement, (6) documentation, (7) evaluation, (8) consultant competence, and (9) provision for referral for additional services if interventions are unsuccessful.” (Burns, 2017) Some possible undesirable side effects and outcomes may be due to a too narrow focus on prioritizing one specific outcome, such as academic achievement, while neglecting other vital areas like social and emotional well-being, which can create an unbalanced and potentially harmful impact on student development. Also, focusing solely on desired outcomes without considering potential side effects like increased anxiety and reduced motivation leads to unintended negative impacts. The text mentions how groups can positively impact participants through encouragement, but unfortunately, it can involve peer pressure and harassment.
What do you consider the most important ethical consideration? Provide rationale for your position.
“Documenting the intervention is important not only for monitoring the progress of the students being served but also in order to provide accountability data regarding the intervention assistance activities.” (Burns, 2017) Documentation provides a clear record of actions taken, decisions made, and outcomes achieved, creating a trail of accountability. This transparency safeguards against ethical lapses and protects both the student and the counselor in cases of concerns or allegations. For example, if the student’s parents are concerned about the intervention, the counselor can provide detailed documentation showing the chosen techniques’ rationale, implementation, and observed effects. This transparency fosters trust and ensures ethical practice.

Classmate Response 2- Niccole
In the context of school counseling and intervention efforts, ethical concerns play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and rights of students. One of the primary ethical considerations is confidentiality. As a school counselor, maintaining the confidentiality of students is vital to establishing trust and promoting an open communication environment. Sharing sensitive information without proper consent can breach ethical guidelines.
For example, if a student confides in time about experiencing bullying, I must respect the confidentiality of this information, which means not disclosing it to others without the student’s permission. However, if the situation threatens the student’s safety or the safety of others, there might be an ethical dilemma in balancing confidentiality with the duty to protect.
Another ethical concern is the need for informed consent. Before implementing any intervention, obtaining consent from both the student and, if applicable, their parents or legal guardians is crucial. Informed consent ensures that all parties know the nature of the intervention, its potential outcomes, and their right to refuse or withdraw from the process.
For instance, if a school counselor decides to involve a student in a group counseling session to address social skills, obtaining informed consent involves explaining the purpose of the intervention, potential benefits, and any risks involved. This transparency empowers the student and their parents to make informed decisions about intervention participation.
Upholding these ethical considerations ensures that intervention efforts are conducted with the utmost respect for the rights and well-being of students.
