School counselor

The WCSCM, suggests 80% of school counselors time is spent with face-to-face contact with students and their parents/guardians. Conferencing comprises activities involving the school counselor, the student, and their parents. Each student discusses ways to plan, monitor, and manage their own learning; in addition to, their personal and career development. At my high school placement, I observed and facilitated freshman individual conferences. Due to the considerable size of the freshman class, some of the conferences were accomplished one-on-one, with the student and parent, or in a group setting. I looked up each freshman student who had not completed a conference, and complied a list of the student’s resource times. Because of time constraints,…

I define a school counselor as someone who provides guidance to help with the development of children academically and socially, but I learned from this interview that this is still their philosophy but their duties have changed.

Legal and Ethical Issues for School Counselors: Case Five The first issue in this case is whether or not it is acceptable to have sex with the spouse of a client. The answer is simply no. It is against the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics to have sex with you client, their spouse, their siblings, or their parents (Kaplan, 2006). It is even unacceptable to have sex with your client’s ex-partner (Kaplan, 2006). A relationship with any of these people represents an abuse of the…

professional school counselors are to be knowledgeable of the “purposes, nature, results, reliability, validity, limitations, and appropriateness of any instrument” counselors utilize, while also being able to communicate all of those things to parents and students (Dollarhide & Saginak, 2017, p. 147). Therefore, when school counselors use various assessments such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, and personal observations, they should be able to use each of them to pull data that is…

Role of a school counselor History Beginning our journey, let us explain that the education field, which is closely related to that one of school counseling, has undergone and is still going through several reforms within the last decades. In fact, because the nation feared that the US was falling behind academically and the Nation at Risk Act was initiated, school counselors were sought to be “sociopolitical instruments to achieve national goals” (Erford 2011 as cited in Reiner, S., &…
