Four Service Delivery Components

The Hebron 9th Grade Campus Counseling Program seeks to meet the needs of all students through a variety a means broken down into four components: Individual Planning, Responsive Services, System Support and Guidance Curriculum. A goal was developed for each of these components so that progress can be measured and reflected upon.

Delivery Components:

• Individual Planning (10% of overall program time)

  • SMART Goal: Through individual meetings, all incoming 8th graders will conference with their 9th grade counselor before February 7th to review and finalize their freshman course requests that meet their individual academic needs.

    • Examples: Individual student conferences to personalize graduation plans and freshmen course selection, counselors available daily to discuss student's individual needs and issues, and incoming 9th grade student and, due to COVID safety, our new parent course registration resource website.

• Responsive Services (25% of overall program time)

  • SMART Goal: Our campus mentor program will identify 20 students in danger of failing 9th grade and provide additional support to help students earn all necessary freshman credits.

    • Examples: Develop and evaluate RTI (Response to Intervention), 504, and IEP (Individual Education Plan) plans for achieving academic success, coordinate the HHS9 Mentor Program, monitor student grades and attendance in order to counsel with students each grading period, coordinate the New to Hebron Student Breakfast to welcome all students who coming from outside of LISD.

• System Support (50% of overall program time)

  • SMART Goal: As struggling learners are identified, each counselor will conference with all stakeholders within two weeks to initiate the RTI (Response to Intervention) process in order to add academic supports.

    • Examples: Attend North Texas College Fair, serve on Campus Emergency Response Team, serve on District Grade Point Average Committee, serve on the PAWS (Prevention and Wellness System) committee, and serve on the BLT (Building Leadership Team) committee.

• Guidance Curriculum (15% of overall program time)

  • SMART Goal: Following our Choices 360 guidance lesson on post-high school opportunities, students will save three careers of interest to their portfolio in Choices 360 by the end of 9th grade.

    • Examples: Implement classroom grade level meetings to discuss courses, high school handbook, 4 year planning, college admissions and scholarships, administer PSAT, introduce student to Choices 360 for career exploration, coordinate LISD Suicide Prevention Curriculum and Red Ribbon Campaign to promote awareness and intervention of substance abuse, facilitate Teen Life student group and GPA guidance lesson for students and parents.

Example 2: The Hebron 9th Grade Campus Counseling Department greatly values the input and collaboration of the families that we serve. Based on needs assessment data, it became clear that many families desire more information regarding GPA and transcripts. For incoming 9th graders and their families, GPA and Postsecondary Planning is a topic that can be very confusing when their first transcript posts for them to view, so under the Guidance Curriculum component, each October the HHS9 counseling department hosts a Coffee with the Counselor covering GPA. This is on the heels of a Hawk Time advisory lesson for the students to learn the same material. We also invite our School Resource Officer from the Carrollton Police Department to present Personal Health and Safety information, specifically Drug Trends and School Safety information, during the same event, which coincides with the Red Ribbon Campaign.
