The Student Intervention Manager is a tool for School Counselors to use for Student Interventions. We’re pretty excited about it and are working hard to get the word out.
Imagine, every time you as the School Counselor make a good action decision to benefit the student you are working with, your wisdom will immediately help someone else who is also using siM. Likewise, as you make your best prescribed action decisions, you are instantly provided with perspective from everyone else who has ever used siM!
You’ll also find good information about siM at our Simcolab.com website and you can spread the news around by ‘liking’ the Simcolab Facebook page.
This is one of the most exciting projects I have been part of, right up there with HirGrnd.ca. Why? Well, they’re both meaningful and actually designed to help people!
For years we have been using the internet like a library. Find information, use the outcome.
More recently we have been using the internet to communicate and put information back into the web. Find information, add information, share the information online, use the (smarter) outcome.
siM uses the information a student’s counselor has entered, combines it with the input of everyone else who has ever used siM (database) and provides multiple “best practice” options for the counselor to consider. Recommended action items are very specific. They are specific to this student’s situation because siM has ‘listened first’ to the input of the counselor AND the student before offering recommended actions. These action recommendations are also offered graphically so the counselor will know what has worked well most often vs what has worked well only a few times.
The student and counselor gain the benefit of everyone else’s experience. siM is a case manager for school counselors with a unique action recommendation function.
