What Does the School Counselor Do?
As the school counselor, I provide students with support in three areas:
Academic Development
- Effective learning in school and across the life span
- Academic preparation for postsecondary options
- Relationships of academics, work, family, and community life
Career Development
- Investigations of the world of work to make informed decisions
- Strategies to achieve future career goals
- Relationships of personal qualities, education, training, and work
Personal/Social Development
- Interpersonal skills to respect self and others
- Decision making, setting goals, and taking action to achieve goals
- Understanding everyday safety and survival skills
