Classroom Counseling Curriculum Map
All students receive access and support through Tier 1 Classroom Counseling Lessons. We will be using Second Step as a curriculum. Each unit has 4 lessons and a unit assessment to see what the students learned.
Lesson plans and topics are developed through ASCA's Mindsets and Behaviors. Topics can vary based on student need and teacher request. Check out ASCA's website for more information on classroom counseling learning objectives!
Here is an overview of groups that are available for students. Groups are determined by parent/guardian referral, teacher referral, and saber scores. If your student has been selected to work on skills in group a passive permission slip will be sent home with details about the group content and how many sessions we will be meeting for. If you have any questions, concerns, or ways that I can help your student I am ready to collaborate!
Counseling goals are developed in collaboration with the student. School counselors provide short-term solution-focused counseling services. Sessions are typically 3-8 sessions in length. When nearing the end of sessions I will reevaluate the student's progress and see if we will fade off of services or need more intervention.
I meet with students to cover topics such as:
Expressing feelings
Coping skills
Conflict resolution
Friendship boundaries
Self-esteem
Sportsmanship
Respecting differences
Choices and consequences
Self-control
Accepting responsibility
