Comprehensive K-12 School Counseling Plan
School counselors play a significant role in improving student achievement and serve as student and systems advocates. They apply their professional training in schools in order to support student academic success. Through a comprehensive school counseling program of developmental, preventive, remedial and responsive services, school counselors address academic development, career development and personal/social development of students.
Through leadership, advocacy, collaboration and data analysis, school counselors will focus on the goal of improving student achievement, provide the necessary behavioral support to students and create the changes necessary to impact the system. As leaders and advocates, school counselors will promote, assess and implement this Comprehensive K-12 School Counseling Plan.
School Counselors will use disaggregated data to drive program and activity development which will enable them to meet the needs of all students and close the achievement gap. The school counseling program will be data driven, evaluated annually and modified based on results to ensure that every student achieves success.
Through the use of a data-driven/results-based and standards-based model, school counselors will follow the recommended practice of providing:
- Counseling
- Coordination
- Consultation
- Advocacy
- Teaming and Collaboration
