Forbes Middle School Counseling Program Goals:
Individual Planning Goal:
The Forbes Counseling team will meet individually with students for registration, course advisement, and for student/parent meetings pertaining to ARDs, 504s, or other academic and emotional needs. The Forbes counselors will conduct interest inventories related to transition planning and meet with students/parents one-on-one to discuss academic and personal goals.
Guidance Goal:
The Forbes Counseling team will collaborate with teachers and administration to design lessons that promote social and emotional growth and well-being in and outside of the classroom. Google classrooms have been created for each grade level to promote and communicate lesson topics and important announcements pertaining to counseling related topics.
Responsive Services Goal:
The Forbes Counseling team meets with students for individual counseling, crisis intervention, and student behavior and relationship concerns. The Forbes counselors will utilize resources such as the student tranquility room, School-Based Therapy, and Care Solace to help students and families.
System Support Goal:
The Forbes Counseling team provides indirect services for students including referrals for additional assistance, teacher/staff consultation, collaboration with parents, other educators, and community organizations. The Forbes counselors facilitate professional learning and training to all stakeholders, as well as measure and analyze program effectiveness using the Student Experience Survey (SES).
