CHANGED IMPRESSIONS
What I found interesting as I read and researched this assignment was that the primary role of the Guidance Counselor has not "drastically" changed through the years in terms of offering students professional guidance in the areas of academic, social and career issues. As a matter of fact, even-though the history of counseling and guidance principles can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome with philosophical teachings of Plato and Aristotle, the techniques and skills of modern-day guidance counselors of today, were practiced by Catholic priests in the Middle Ages. Of course, guidance counselors and the programs they use today have evolved into a much more effective overall experience for students today.
