Philosophy
"Counseling in the school setting has evolved through recognition that individuals living in a dynamic, complex society benefit most from a broad range of learning experiences. Such experiences prepare them to lead productive lives characterized by feelings of self worth. Individual acquisition of knowledge and skills has been, and will continue to be, a major goal of public education. In addition, parallel efforts to assist students to grow socially and emotionally as well as intellectually and physically are essential. Guidance Processes are designed to assist individuals with total development on a K-12 basis. The school counseling program is preventative rather than remedial in nature. It complements the core instructional offerings and involves a cooperative effort among counselors, administrators, and classroom teachers." (NEBRASKA CAREER GUIDANCE PROGRAM HANDBOOK)
