Guidance Lessons

Throughout the school year, School Counselors meet with classes to provide lessons that support the academic, career and personal/social growth of students.  Reading books, group discussions, art/ writing activities and games are types of activities used during lessons.   Along with guidance lessons, the School Counselor can meet with students in groups and individually, as needed.   

Classroom Lessons have stopped until next year due to STAAR/TELPLAS testing responsibilities.  Support lessons upon request by the teacher. 

Topics of the classroom guidance lessons are as follows: 

• Character Education - Respect, Responsibilty, Self-Esteem 

• Mindset/Resilience

• Friendship Skills and Conflict Resolution

• Mindfulness and Coping Skills

• Career and Academic Exploration

• Personal Safety - (This is the Child Protection Unit.  Please see the 2nd Step and Child Protection Tab)
