"By All, For All"
4 Components of the Comprehensive School Counseling Program:
School Counseling Curriculum -- The counseling curriculum builds student awareness, skill development, and appreciation of skills needed in everyday life. The curriculum content themes include: Career Exploration, Personal and Social Development, and Academic Skills and Support.
Individual Student Planning -- Individual student planning includes assessment, advisement, and transition planning, including participating on IEP teams and coordinating 504 Plans. A key component of transition planning is Junior Student and Parent Planning Conferences. These occur in the spring and are an opportunity for parents, students, and the counselor to meet together to discuss the student's post-graduation plans and ways to reach that goal. ASVAB, and ACT assessment results are reviewed during this time.
Responsive Services -- Responsive services consist of preventative activities or interventions to meet the immediate needs and concerns of students. These services are delivered through counseling, consultation, and referral. Services provided include: Crisis Counseling/Crisis Response, Individual Counseling, Peer Mediation (K-8), and Small Group Counseling/Student Support Groups.
System Support -- System support consists of management activities that establish, maintain, and enhance the comprehensive school counseling program. This component is implemented and carried out through activities in the following areas: Consultation and Collaboration, Community and Parent Involvement, Parent/Teacher Conferences, Professional Development, Program Evaluation and Management, and Public Relations.
