We talk to Allison about the different ways that she has been helping implement PurposeFull People with the students and staff at her school. She shares the practical ways that she has used the PurposeFull People posters, pictures, and character trait definitions to help create common language with students. Allison also shares how she has helped created space for students to have ongoing conversations about character. After 14 years as a classroom teacher, Allison is a proud first year school counselor! She has had the honor to serve PreK through 3rd grade students across two campuses in Robinson, Texas just outside of Waco. Allison began her career in education in 2007 upon receiving a Bachelor's Degree from Baylor University. While she loved being a teacher, she always knew her heart was beyond the classroom. In 2018 Allison earned a Master's of Education in School Counseling from Tarleton State University, and in 2021, Allison joined the school counseling profession. It is her goal as a school counselor to see the good in every person and situation. Her hope for students and staff is to know their value by developing and facilitating positive relationships and experiences.
