Counseling Curriculum
The counselor provides 50-minute classroom counseling lessons to students on a weekly basis. Lessons include topics related to personal and social development, academic development, and career development. Individual Planning The counselor helps students meet personal and educational goals. One way the counselor assists in this area is by administering tests that measure cognitive ability to students referred for special education services. The counselor also serves on a team of educators called the Teacher Support Team. This team meets the individual needs of students by developing strategies that promote student success. Attending special education meetings or parent/teacher conferences is another way the counselor can assist in a student's personal and educational planning. |
