Academic Development

Schools are evaluated on student outcomes, especially academic achievement, and school counselors play a critical role in ensuring schools create an environment conducive to academic success. School counselors play a critical role in ensuring schools provide a safe, caring environment and that students attain the necessary mindsets and behaviors to advance their academic achievement. 

School counselors at Patton work collaboratively with teachers, guardians, and other partners to ensure all students have a fair chance of achieving their potential.

We do this by developing programs that:

• Enhance student belief in development of their whole self and ability to succeed

• Develop a positive attitude toward work and learning 

• Assist students in making decisions informed by evidence, considering others’ perspectives and recognizing personal bias 

• Creates meaningful long and short-term academic goals

• Teach self-motivation and self-direction for learning

• Foster positive, respectful and supportive relationships with students and adults
