Overview of the Career Counseling Program for Families
Naperville 203 Comprehensive Counseling Program ensures every student will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve personal growth and postsecondary success. Counseling programming provides students with preventative and responsive services that promote academic, social emotional, and college & career skill development in order to advance and empower students to achieve postsecondary success.
The Naperville 203 College & Career Counseling Curriculum promotes student academic, social emotional, and postsecondary preparation through utilization of tools, resources, and best practices. The ongoing curriculum spans 6-12th grade and includes goal setting, planning, and developing an individual learning plan for each student. Student plans are updated annually and reflect progressions of learning and personal experiences.
Naperville 203 graduates are prepared to navigate and compete in the ever changing global economy. Students gain a competitive advantage by having well developed postsecondary plans and a diverse set of skills to help prepare for academic and career success. Students understand postsecondary options and the importance of continued education. Students graduate prepared for postsecondary endeavors by engaging in academic readiness coursework, college & career preparation activities, experiential learning, and social emotional wellness and life-ready skills.
Each curricular area is responsible for a portion of the social-emotional learning curriculum designed by the district. Throughout the year, teachers embed these lessons into their regular teaching. As a team, we also engage in team activities that support this curriculum. Further resources and specifics from the district can be found below.
Team SEL Activities
Throughout the year we seek experience for student to collaborate, reflect, and connect within and outside of our school community. We have team activity days that cover a variety of topics, and we seek opportunities for field trips that extend the learning that students do in the classroom. Stay tuned for further news during the year!
