Counselors provide a variety of services to South Caldwell students. We are trained & licensed to work with students, parents, teachers, administrators, and community stakeholders to ensure that all students achieve academic, personal, and/or career success.
As a school counselor, we perform the following roles to serve our students:
- Individual counseling*
- Group counseling
- Peer mediation
- Respond to school crises & emergency situations
- Attend & participate in academic intervention meetings
- Consult & collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators, support staff, and students
- Provide information & resources relevant to student success and post-graduation plans
*Please note that school counselors do not work with students in a clinical or therapeutic role. We provide short-term counseling services rather than in-depth mental health treatment. If a student needs or would like long-term counseling, we can provide a list of resources in Caldwell County.
North Carolina Essential Standards
Standards are essential for all areas of education and educators, including those educators working in Student Services as school counselors, because they provide critical benchmarks for identifying and assessing the foundational concepts, principles, and practices upon which knowledge and skills are selected, implemented, and evaluated. Standards for school counselors provide a framework for understanding and performing the duties and expectations of the diverse roles of school counselors. School counselors perform duties that include, but that are not limited to, individual and group counseling, guidance, career development, consultation, coordination, program planning, and professional development.
