Counselling
As a school counsellor, my first professional responsibility is to the student(s). The support of a school counsellor is available to all students in the school through a variety of methods including (but not limited to) direct instruction, co-teaching, group, and individual counselling. I am available to provide supports and resources to students, families, and staff. Within a K-6 school, the focus is on preventative, developmental, intervention, and informative basis.
To meet the ever-changing social-emotional, developmental, and educational needs of students within the school, I work closely with classroom teachers, other professionals, and families to support students in ways which work best to meet their needs. As strengths and / or lagging skills are identified, I work with the student(s), school team, and family as appropriate to develop, implement and monitor a Student Specific Plan (SSP).
