Counselor's Corner
Comprehensive School Counseling Program
A comprehensive school counseling program is developmental and systematic in nature, sequential, clearly defined, and accountable. It is jointly founded upon developmental psychology, educational philosophy, and school counseling methodology (ASCA, 2012). Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs are vital to the achievement of excellence in education for all students. Texas Education Code 33.005 (2019) states that school counselors must "plan, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program that conforms to the most recent edition of the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs" (TCA, 2018). Such a program organizes resources to meet the priority needs of students through four delivery system components. The identified needs of all students in prekindergarten through grade 12 provide the basis for the developmental school counseling program, delivered through Guidance Curriculum and Individual Planning System components. The identified special needs of some students provide the basis for the Responsive Services component. The identified needs of the school system itself are met through the System Support component.

School Counseling Program
A comprehensive school counseling program supports academic, social-emotional, personal, and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.
School Counselor's Role
School counselors spend the majority of time working directly with students, teachers, parents, and the community in responsive services, individual student planning, as well as providing social and emotional curriculum to support the challenges students face in schools today.
Guidance will be provided for all students throughout the year using the program "Join the Circus" by Counselor Keri. Below are the general topics that will be taught each month. The lessons will correlate with the six pillars for good character through the Character Counts program. A different pillar will be addressed each 6 weeks. This will help the students gain an understanding of having good character as well as see that we are all working in a partnership to make Canup ECC the best it can be!
