The Falcon Advisory Counseling Explorers (FACE) offers information aligned with our Comprehensive School Counseling Program (CSCP) as well as our district learner profile . One of the most recent FACE meetings focused on the implementation of a student recognition program called SOAR. A plan was designed to encourage and educate students on the aspects of the learner profile, identify ways to recognize students for their accomplishments, and celebrate student successes in front of peers and staff. Posters were made and displayed around the campus to highlight this action item. (See pictures below)
The Falcon Advisory Counseling Explorers (FACE) helps brainstorm ideas for both the staff and student calming rooms, provides feedback for the counseling monthly newsletters, and assists with reviewing and analyzing data collected from our Student Experience Surveys (SES). These efforts are instrumental in fostering a healthy culture and climate on the Forbes campus. Overall, the FACE team aids in identifying campus needs and brainstorming approaches to best support students, families, and staff at Forbes through the counseling department.
