There are 4 components which are essential to every school counseling program:
School Counseling Curriculum
The school counselor facilitates the school-counseling program through classroom guidance curriculum and school-wide activities.
Examples: Classroom lessons, college tours, career fairs
Individual Planning
Through advisement, school counselors assist students in self-appraisal, including academic and career decision- making.
Examples: Individual post-secondary planning sessions, grade and credit review, course selection advisement, reviewing standardized test results.
Response Services
This category is where immediate concerns are met through personal counseling and crisis counseling, both individually and in groups. The school counselor consults with parents. teachers, and community agencies, making referrals as needed
Examples: Personal counseling, crisis counseling, mediation, group sessions, agency contact and referral.
System Support
Direct student contact does not occur in this component; rather the school counselor concentrates on professional development of self and others, including research and development. Program management, community outreach, public relations, serving on committees and advisory boards complete the school counselors’ responsibilities.
Examples: Consulting with teachers, parents, or agencies, attending conferences, program evaluation and development.
