Individual Counseling / Individual Planning
The counselor is available to meet individually with students in circumstances when a student's educational success is being impacted. Students may be referred to the school counselor by parents, teachers, or other school staff. A student may also self-refer to see the school counselor.
The role of the elementary school counselor is to assist students in developing problem-solving techniques. Through the use of encouragement and self-exploration, students work towards conflict resolution. Counselors spend time working with individual students to improve their social skills, discuss feelings, and improve problem solving methods.
The elementary school counseling program is meant to assist ALL children. While a counselor cannot provide on-going counseling, short-term alternatives for students to receive individual counseling may be appropriate. When more attention and intervention is required, school counselors can act as a referral agent for parents to access counseling services within the community.
