This is the perfect year to be a first year counselor because the SDE released a brand new Comprehensive School Counseling Framework. The previous framework hadn't been updated since 2004, so I am very excited to share the framework with the community. The framework provides a comprehensive explanation of the role of a school counselor in the world that we live in today. Gone are the days of waiting for students to come to you in your office. That doesn't match my personality and I will always be a teacher first and will strive to be in the classroom with students as much as possible.
