Counselor in the Classroom

School Counseling Curriculum: Perhaps my favorite counseling duty, I love going into the classroom and teaching whole group lessons. This year, all classes (TK-5) will receive lessons (2 x per calendar month). However, if a teacher requests additional lessons (based on class need), I am always happy to do so. Lessons cover a variety of topics including the role of the counselor, understanding and expressing feelings, making safe and responsible choices, self-esteem, goal setting, careers, growth mindset, and conflict resolution.

In addition to the counseling lessons I will deliver, we are also fortunate to have several outside organizations provide in person lessons to our students each year. Fifth graders receive DARE as well as Health in the Spring.  K,3rd and 5 th grade receive a presentation on boundaries and safe/unsafe touch.
