BenefitsWhat I have learned in the last two years

Program Improvement Goals› A counseling program is an ever changing

and evolving process Goal –> new program –> needs change –>

new goal The counseling program is more than

just the counselor Educating staff and students of the

changing view of school counselors is vital to the collaborative effort.

Program Audit A lot of things were in implementation stage

and just needed some follow through › i.e. documentation, putting things together in one

place There is much already being addressed through

general curriculum that counselors may not be aware of.

Able to see that the counseling program is a shared responsibility.› Collaboration with faculty and community members › Need to have advisory board – essential as we look

toward new middle school Completed in August and January/February
