Changed Impressions

I knew that our school counselors (not guidance counselors) took on a lot of responsibilities, but I think the part of the readings that stood out the most is the list of monthly requirements for them to meet in the schools. The timeline for activities almost acts as a series of standards for the counselors, like the state classroom standards relate to teachers. The other parts of the readings that stood out was about counselors helping with job readiness and assisting students in finding their future career options. I guess my initial thought was that counselors focus on colleges and universities, I never stopped to think about them helping students who aren’t going to pursue post-secondary education.
