I encourage caregivers to stay updated on what we learn in our counseling lessons. Follow up discussions at home can help reinforce important concepts. These discussions can also help generate meaningful conversation at home regarding emotional regualtion, friendship, study skills- even future career possibilities!
LEARNING INTENTIONS:
I’m learning how the school counselor can help keep me safe, be a great learner, and take care of my feelings.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
I can identify who my school counselor is and how they can help me.
OVERVIEW:
In our first counselor lesson, we learned about the role of school counselor and the specific ways a counselor supports a school community. We explored how to request a counselor meeting, took a tour of Mrs. Click's office, and learned about counselor confidentiality. Students understand that the school counselor will keep information private unless it involves student harm or safety. We reviewed how school counselors support students both directly and indirectly. To make it more fun, we learned Mrs. Click's role by playing School Counseling BINGO! When students understand the role of the school counselor, it optimizes safety and wellbeing.
LEARNING INTENTIONS:
I am learning about bullying.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
