The following is an engaging prompt that has captivated my attention throughout the week. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the various iterations of ChatGPT's output, which have presented me with strikingly diverse results. Additionally, I made an attempt to enhance ChatGPT's capabilities by utilizing different plugins, granting it access to the web. Surprisingly, in every instance, ChatGPT confidently advocated for a split counseling model. These findings have sparked my curiosity, contributing to an exciting exploration of this topic.

Analyze a specific successful school particularly in regards to [aspect] and identify the key factors and decisions that drove their triumph. Leverage these insights to find solution for [decision].

Aspect = high school college counseling

Decision = Whether to choose to offer comprehensive counseling where the counselors are responsible for social-emotional counseling and college/university counseling or to offer a split model where there are distinct social-emotional counselors and also dedicated college counselors.

If you have any great prompts or questions about prompting, send me a note at [email protected]. And you can always see past prompts here!

I would like to extend a warm invitation to all of you to join me for the first Third Thursday of the upcoming 2023-24 academic year. This gathering will take place on Thursday, August 17 at 10am São Paulo time. It is a fantastic chance to connect with fellow counselors and engage in lively discussions or simply lend an ear to the insightful conversations. Our Zoom discussions have seen a turnout ranging from 6 to 20 participants over the past year, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Should you be interested in joining this event, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email, and I will gladly send you an invitation.

Happy counseling,

Jeff
