| What is School Counseling? | School Counseling is an integral part of South Seneca’s total educational program. It is developmental by design and implemented by licensed school counselors with the support of teachers, administrators, students and parents. Our school counseling program delivers services in four areas: | |
 |
ü School Counseling Curriculum | |
| South Seneca’s Guidance Curriculum is a written program consisting of structured developmental lessons designed to assist students in achieving the American School Counselor Association National Standards and Competencies, NY State and South Seneca’s district academic goals. Currently 6th grade students are scheduled for a 14 week block of guidance classroom instruction providing students with knowledge and skills appropriate for their development in the Academic, Career and Personal/Social Domain. | ||
| ü Individual Planning | ||
| The Individual Planning component allows the counselor to help students to establish, monitor, and complete personal goals as well as develop plans for their future. This service includes advisement, assessment, and placement and follow-up. Examples of Individual Planning include: study skills, goal setting, behavior planning and monitoring, social skills, bullying prevention, transitions, test score review, career awareness, interest inventories, etc. | ||
| ü Responsive Services | ||
| Responsive Services are planned and goal-focused addressing the immediate needs and concerns of students. Services may range from intervention to crisis response. Students may self refer or be referred for counseling services by parents or school staff. There are five methods of service delivery available to your student: consultation (sharing of information to better serve our students), individual and group counseling, crisis counseling, referrals to outside agencies, and mediation. | ||
