Brendon Wiksell

Hi everyone, I’m Brendon Wiksell, an ESA Certificated School Counselor in the Vancouver Public School District in SW Washington. I’m in my 6th year as a Kindergarten through 5th grade elementary school counselor and couldn’t be happier working with our youngest students. My goal is to teach Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and follow the ASCA National Model to do so. These videos began as an easier way to accomplish Tier 1 Supports to reach all our students during the COVID-19 pandemic. As students began to return to the building we discovered that continuing to make videos is the best way to ensure our whole school, K-5, received the same lessons. We do our best to provide follow up material for the classroom teachers to continue the work with their students.
