Who is my Counselor?
Our School Counselor
Understand the expertise and responsibilities of your child’s school counselor. School counselors make a measurable impact in every student’s life, assisting with academic, career and personal/social development. Professional school counselors are trained in both educating and counseling, allowing them to function as a facilitator between parents, teachers and the student in matters concerning the student’s goals, abilities and any areas needing improvement. School counselors provide services not only to students in need, but to all students. (ASCA, 2017)
Hello, my Name is Paula Inman-Balanzar (Mrs. Inman). I am a native Oregonian and I identify as Mexican American, use she/her pronouns and am a proud mother and wife. I have been a school counselor at Beaumont for almost 3 years. I really enjoy working with middle school students and I am a school counselor that is dedicated to being an advocate so that all students have equitable access to a rigorous education including all services provided within the education system. I am a firm believer that as a school counselor, I play a pivotal role in creating platforms so that students have the ability to have their voices heard. I work from a strengths based approach, and affirm the identities of all students regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, religion, cultural background, or disability status. I have a deep rooted desire to help students find the courage to believe in their future regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Hello, I am Mrs. Goodwin! I will be on leave until November 16th 2020. I am looking forward to coming back and working with Beaumont students and the community once again! See you soon!
