School Counseling Program
School Counseling Program
The comprehensive school counseling program is a framework for the development, implementation and evaluation of the school counseling programs. There are four components of the comprehensive model that are linked to the New York State Learning Standards and Common Core Learning Standards.
These components include:
School counseling curriculum
Individual student planning
Responsive services
System support
The comprehensive program helps to link school counseling to the total educational process. A developmental approach is used with the understanding that all children do not develop in a linear fashion. The approach ensures that all students receive the information in an age appropriate manner that is planned and organized. The competencies emphasize prevention through early intervention as well as responsive services.
The school counseling program of the Frontier Central School district promotes educational excellence through an individual approach, provides preventative programs, and creates a model that integrates expertise of school counselors, school personnel, and the community into the program.
The American School Counseling Association National Model for School Counseling incorporates the student standards, the comprehensive process, results-based accountability and it considers the developmental needs of every student. There are 4 components to the model which include: the foundation, the delivery system, the management system and the accountability system. This model emphasizes the importance of accountability. This commitment to accountability shows that the Frontier School Counselors are key players in the academic success of our students.
