PHILOSOPHY
A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of the total
educational experience of all students. School counseling programs promote school
success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention, intervention, and
advocacy as well as social/emotional and career development. A successful program
requires cooperation among teachers, counselors, administrators, and support personnel
in delivering services. Integrating and teaching 21st Centruy Skills (Learning and Innovation, Digital Literacy, & Career and Life Skills), school counselors have been identified as those that will take the lead in organizing, planning, and evaluating a comprehensive program including the three major components: Counseling, Coordination, and Consultation.
Counseling is a process in which a trained, certified professional school counselor forms trusting relationships with students to assist them in making decisions and changing behavior. The relationship focuses on the personal meaning of experiences, feelings, behaviors, alternatives, goals, and consequences. Counseling provides a unique
opportunity for individuals to explore and express their ideas and feelings in a nonthreatening environment.
Coordination is a leadership process in which the counselor helps organize an
instructional or structured learning activity designed to prevent problems or provide
information to students. Advisory activities assist students in developing greater
understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. Services may be
provided in the classroom setting and would be designed as student-centered, constructivist learning activities..
Consultation is a collaborative process in which the counselor works with the students, staff, families, agencies and community. The consultation process includes sharing of knowledge, information, and skills to assist students and enhance the total school environment.
NEW YORK STATE AND SCHOOL COUNSELING DOMAINS

DELIVERY SYSTEM:
Delivery System Components
The comprehensive school counseling program integrates academic, personal/social, and career development. School counselors deliver these programs through individual student planning, responsive services/counseling, school counseling curriculum, and
system support.
Individual Student Planning
Counselors provide the necessary monitoring of individual student’s progress towards
achieving success in academic, personal/social, and career development areas. Individual
planning can be monitored through:
· Case Management: school counselors monitor individual student progress.
· Individual Appraisal: school counselors use test information and other data to
assist students in analyzing and evaluating their interest, skills, and abilities.
· Individual Advisement: school counselors work directly with students on
developing an appropriate educational plan.
· Placement: school counselors assist students in determining the proper
· educational setting as they meet their academic and career goals.
· Transitional Services: school counselors help orient children as they move
from grade to grade as well as from school building to school building to
provide a comfortable and success-oriented learning environment.
Responsive Services/Counseling
School counselors coordinate activities to meet the needs of students through:
· Consultation: school counselors work with parents, teachers, students, and other involved parties to develop strategies to assist students in all domains.
· Personal Counseling: school counselors provide students a maximum privacy in which to freely explore ideas, feelings and behaviors and work on personal, social and academic issues.
· Group Counseling:
· Crisis Counseling: school counselors assist students in crisis by evaluating needs and involving the family in making appropriate service referrals.
· Referral: school counselors refer students and their families to appropriate
community agencies and service providers as needed.
School Counseling Curriculum
The curriculum presents structured developmental experiences designed to address
academic, personal/social, and career development needs of students in Pre-K through 12.
The curriculum is delivered through:
· Classroom activities: school counselors may present lessons in the classroom setting.
· Group Activities: school counselors may also conduct large group activities to address students’ particular needs.
· Interdisciplinary Activities: school counselors may participate in teams to develop curriculum across content areas.
System Support
System support consists of the management activities essential to the success of the
school counseling program:
· Professional Development: school counselors must update their knowledge
and skills by participating in training, professional meetings and conferences,
and relevant course work.
· Program Promotion: school counselors may provide orientation and
information regarding the school counseling program to the greater
community through websites, newsletters, community presentations and other
media.
· Consultation with Teachers and Staff: school counselors work with teachers
and other staff members to provide information regarding the needs of
students. School counselors should participate in appropriate district
committees and in-service programs.
· Parent and Community Outreach: school counselors provide on-going support
and information to the greater community regarding students’ needs.
Research: school counselors need to utilize research in the development of
their programs and participate in research designed to improve their programs.
Program Evaluation: school counselors evaluate programs and continue to
update program activities.
Documentation of Delivery System
Each area of the delivery system will be documented. A record keeping system is integral to any delivery system utilized. Record keeping strategies can include logs, contact forms, records of dates, planning sessions, outcomes, community contacts, parent meetings, student contacts etc. Each School Counselor will maintain his/her record keeping system.
