Why elementary school counselors?
Elementary school years set the tone for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. Through a comprehensive developmental school counseling program, school counselors work as a team with the school staff, parents and the community to create a caring climate and atmosphere. By providing education, prevention, early identification and intervention, school counselors can help all children achieve academic success.
The Role of a School Counselor
* Advocating for student needs
* Developing and promoting character education
* Providing individualized support for all students
* Developing and delivering classroom guidance lessons
* Collaborating with teachers, parents, administrators, staff and the community
