School counselors make a measurable impact in every student’s life, assisting with academic, career and personal/social development. Professional school counselors are trained in both educating and counseling, allowing them to function as a facilitator between parents, teachers and the student in matters concerning the student’s goals, abilities and any areas needing improvement. School counselors provide services not only to students in need but to all students. The Professional School Counselor is a certified counselor with a master’s degree in school counseling, including coursework in career development, human growth and behavior, appraisal, research and program evaluation, and a supervised internship. In addition to coursework, school counselors may elect to gain professional orientation through membership in American School Counselor Association and passing a state licensing exam. My role as your school counselor is to meet the needs of the entire school population in the areas of social/emotional, academic and career development.
How can the school counselor help you?
- Course registration, placement, schedule changes
- The orientation of new students
- Record collection
- Teacher conferences
- Parent conferences
- Individual personal, academic, and social counseling
- Group Counseling (e.g., study skills, drug awareness)
- Administration and interpretation of tests
- Career education
- Consultation with other school personnel and community agencies
- Referral for psychological and other services
