Liz Diaz- 11th Grade Counselor & Dual Credit Coordinator

Although I am not new to Terrell ISD, this is my first year as a counselor at Terrell High School. I was the Head Volleyball Coach for the last four years and taught PE at Terrell HS and Wood Elementary. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Kinesiology from Texas Lutheran University, and immediately attended Texas Woman's University to earn my Master of Science in Kinesiology.
Pursuing a career in education was never my intention, or on my radar, but it became very clear that this was where I was meant to be. I have spent the last 15 years in education teaching PE and coaching volleyball. During my time coaching at Terrell HS, I started on a new path to pursue my school counselor certifications. I completed my coursework from Angelo State University.
I am dedicated to being an advocate for our students, and want to be able to help provide our students with the same variety of opportunities that were provided to me. I am very excited for this new opportunity and adventure, and look forward to being able to work side by side with our students as they make their journey through high school, and prepare for their life once they graduate.In my spare time, I enjoy sitting out on the dock with my three dogs at my lake house, baking, going to movies, and traveling to San Antonio to spend time with my family.
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.
