School Counseling Program & School Counselor information School :
Counseling Programs/Counselors are no longer referred to as ‘Guidance Programs and Guidance Counselors’, reflective of changes in the field over time, better defining the Counselors role to providing every student and the entire school with school counseling program services every day of the year. The updated and preferred term of ‘School Counselor and School Counseling Program ‘ is more inclusive of all students having access to a school counselor/school counseling program which not only provides career education and development, but also entails ensuring that every student will receive scp services in terms of developmental lessons and workshops in academic, career, college, and personal/social areas as well as using NCTSC TACKLE skills and working to close achievement, opportunity, and attainment gaps. |
