What I do at Pleasant Prairie?
The role of the school counselor is dynamic in that they work as part of a team to support the social and emotional growth of each student in the building. This growth is fostered through a variety of ways:
Classroom Lessons – Using the 9 core values adopted by our school district, each classroom receives a counselor lesson monthly that reinforces growth in these areas. This year we will also develop a strong "Growth Mindset" to encourage individual success.
Small Group Counseling –Throughout the school year, several small groups are conducted on a variety of topics that both support and challenge students in an area of character development. Parent permission is required as they are conducted during the academic day.
Individual Counseling – School counselors do not provide individual therapy within the school setting. However, there are many students that benefit from short-term individual support to work through areas of concern. As needed, I will support these students towards social/emotional skill mastery that will promote success within the academic setting.
Consultation with Staff/Parents – We are a TEAM! I am always looking to meet/talk with teachers and parents to help encourage student growth. Please also check out the RESOURCE tab and contact me for more information.
