Counselor Interview
I look forward to completing this assignment this week. I gave both of our school's counselors a preliminary question page to look over. They were very excited about the interview that I will be conducting. I have had a few good interventions that were handled by our counselors to perfection. I knew both of our counselors outside of school before I started teaching. They are Saints. The many job responsibilities that they have are awesome. During my preliminary talks with them, they both say that they only have about 25 percent of their day to do their real job. I have noticed that they work very close with the social worker and the school nurse. Those two are only part time for one day a week so the counselors have to do their jobs also. The paperwork and reporting detail looks horrendous. I do look forward to doing my report.
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI was able to conduct my interview this past week. The counselors do wear many hats, meeting the needs of the student, parent, teacher, school and community. I think they all must be excellent people and very dedicated. It seems that you will benefit from the interview and coordination as you knew them outside of school. Best Wishes.
