THE ROLE OF A COUNSELOR
First and foremost, counselors are advocates for all individuals (students, staff, and parents). Our goal is to foster effective communication between the home and school.
Guidance Curriculum
Providing guidance content in a systematic way to all students. Promoting awareness, skill development, and application of skills needed in everyday life through classroom guidance lessons.
Responsive Services
Addressing the immediate concerns of students through prevention and intervention.
Individual Planning
Assisting students in monitoring and understanding their own development. Addressing educational, career, and personal-social goals.
System Support
Support activities and services including professional/staff development, campus improvement plan, parent education, campus decision-making, committees, etc.
Non-Guidance
Planning/Coordinating special events, supervisory duties, administrative duties, etc.
GUIDANCE TOPICS
TISD counselors visit every classroom monthly during the school year. Character Education is integrated into the curriculum. There are six pillars of good character: respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, fairness, and citizenship throughout the school year. Counselors also discuss personal space, emotions, secrets, bullying, diversity, word choices and sharing.
