School Counselor Visit

After the school counselor visit yesterday I realize the importance of having a school counselor in ALL school buildings. I also have a better understanding of how that person could be utilized in the school building and what their job role consists of. I believe that a school counselor could be a great asset to data team reviews and much more. As an administrator it is vital to be knowledgeable about what the duties of your school counselor is or should be. I was not aware of the amount of training and knowledge gained by these individuals, and feel that if you have a school counselor in your building then you should be utilizing them in the best way possible. School counselors should be a key factor in the school's climate. This staff member will increase student achievement if allowed to do the functions of a school counselor.
