Summary:
|
National School Counseling Week is celebrated each February to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within U.S. School systems. This special week honors school counselors for the important role they play in helping students examine their talents, strengths, abilities, and interests. Counselors work in professional partnerships with teachers and support personnel to provide an educational system where students can realize their true potential. As all educators focus their efforts on improving academic achievement for all students, it is important that we recognize school counselors for their continuing efforts in reducing barriers to learning and in providing the support necessary for all students to achieve at the highest level.
Schools across California and the nation celebrate National School Counseling Week each year with a variety of activities focusing on student achievement, safe schools, multiculturalism, human rights, parent and family involvement, child advocacy, community collaborations and partnerships, and professional renewal.
Although school counseling requirements are no longer mandated as a condition for school counseling funding, school leaders recognize the value of school counselors in helping all students achieve. School counseling plays a unique role in garnering the support many students need to stay in school and regain access to California's academic standards.
School counselors are certified professional educators who work as an integral part of a total educational team to provide support services that enhance student achievement, improve student skills, and strengthen the accountability for student support services professionals.
