| CENTENNIAL GUIDANCE COUNSELOR |
 |
| Counselor:
Giselle Bey |
An Elementary School Counselor is a Specialist:
Elementary counselors are specialists in child growth and development who
usually have a strong background in the behavioral sciences and human
relations. They also possess a knowledge of the elementary school
program which includes the curriculum, the learning process and school
organization. All student support service workers address important
needs -- the school counselor focuses upon the preventive aspects of
guidance. The school counselor is primarily concerned with the
application of developmental principles in the school through counseling,
consultation, and coordination.
The goals of an elementary school counselor are:
1. To help children understand themselves and others.
2. To prevent problems from developing.
3. To help identify children with special needs.
4. To provide crisis intervention when necessary.
5. To coordinate or facilitate efforts of others with those of
parents, teachers,
and administrators.
6. To help develop personalized programs, when applicable, based on
each
child's strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
7. To provide career education activities. |
