ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS
The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups and family.
MEETING THE NEED
Elementary school counselors are educators uniquely trained in child development, learning strategies, self- management and social skills, who understand and promote success for to- day’s diverse students. They implement a school counseling program to support students through this important devel- opmental period. The program provides education, prevention and intervention activities, which are integrated into all aspects of children’s lives. The program teaches knowledge, attitudes and skills students need to acquire in academic, career and social/emotional develop- ment, which serve as the foundation for future success.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidenced-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed.
