A school counseling program is an articulated, sequential kindergarten-through-grade 12 program that is comprehensive in scope, preventative in design, developmental in nature, driven by data, and integral to the school district’s curricula and instructional program.  The lessons are  designed to reach all students and are taught in the classroom regularly.  

​

ELEMENTARY LESSONS

I have Social-Emotional-Career oriented guidance lessons scheduled every week for 30 minutes. This means that all students, K-6, will experience Guidance during this time. I encourage and invite all teachers to attend Guidance lessons, so they can reinforce what the School Counselor has taught. 

​

SECONDARY LESSONS

Secondary lessons are currently implemented through individual sessions scheduled between the counselor and students. In the future, they could be delivered through monthly advisory groups to avoid disruption of classroom time.  If a needed topic is not covered in advisory, or until advisory groups can be formed/implemented, I will continue to schedule a time to conduct classroom guidance and individual counseling sessions with grades 7-12 based on the need.  Advisory Lessons can include the following

 ​

• Organization and Goal Setting

• Drug Awareness - October

• Bullying 

• Healthy Relationships (Dating Violence)

• Internet Safety

• Suicide Prevention

• Colleges and Careers
