Vicki has worked closely with thousands of at-risk youth. She has been a teacher, a counselor, an assistant principal, and, for twenty-two years, principal of a Californiia continuation school for at-risk students. Her school won two major awards from the California State Department of Education: (1) selection as recipient of one of five S.T.A.R.S. awards (Strategies for Teachers of At-Risk Students) for the Guidance course she and her staff established for all new students, and (2) selection as a “model” continuation school. Vicki's knowledge comes from her own experience as well as from her extensive reading of counseling theories. Ms. Phillips' challenge has been to discover a way to present her own eclectic mix of the best counseling theories in a way acceptable to discouraged and resistant young people. She has given hundreds of conference workshop presentations and close to 200 one and two day seminars on "Changing Student Behaviors" for schools and organizations nationwide. She gave seminars for the Bureau of Education and Research (BER) for three years, for Staff Development Resources (SDR) for two years, and has been giving them since Spring, 2008 for Ideas Unlimited Seminars.
