At Gonzalez Elementary, school counselors play a key leadership role by aligning goals with the vision for student success. As we begin with the end in mind, counselors also provide professional development to the campus staff regarding the Social Emotional Learning framework our district supports and promote positive behavioral intervention strategies to enhance the framework. They collaborate with the campus advisory council to review academic data, provide professional development to staff, and promote positive behavioral intervention strategies. Other training is also conducted to inform and engage faculty on the efforts of the team and the counseling guidance program as it progresses.
