The Guidance curriculum is taught through classroom instruction by me as a preventative or remedial measure that focuses on the developmental needs of students. School Counselors use the American School Counselor Association National Model to adapt their program to their school’s needs. It provides competencies & desired learning outcomes that play a key role in accountability. Examples of guidance units may include academic support (test-taking skills for instance), goal setting, career awareness, peer relationships, communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, diversity awareness, etc. Students receive regular guidance lessons throughout the school year.
