Counseling
Counseling is a student-counselor relationship in which the student has the freedom to express his/her ideas and feelings. The student is encouraged to seek information and examine alternative courses of action. Counseling seeks to help the student assume responsibility for making plans and decisions.
Student Appraisal
The counselor gathers and organizes information about students from grades, standardized tests, information forms, and conferences with parents, teachers, and students. The guidance counselor interprets this information to the student and his/ her parents to help the student deal with the needs and problems that may arise.
Referral
The counselor may refer students to specialists in the school system or in private and public agencies. Since counselors are not trained psychologists or psychiatrists, making referrals is a part of their work activity. Students are urged to make their needs and concerns known to their counselors and are encouraged to call upon the counselor for assistance when problems arise. Parents are urged to contact the counselor whether or not there is an immediate concern in order to keep up-to-date on their student’s progress.
