As our module has taught us, their role has changed over time and we can safely predict that it will continue to change, as change it should. I recently sat down and spoke briefly with our school counselor and listened as she told me all the things she is required to do and what she would really like to do for our students. In the past, she was put on lunch duty for an hour and a half every day and she felt that this was a total waste of her skills. (I agree!) In our new school, she does not have this duty as this administration “gets it” to some extent. She still feels that there are too many things required and that she cannot do as good a job as she would like. She agreed with me when I stated that it is too bad that administration does not have to take a course like this one as a professional learning class to keep them informed as to just how important a good school guidance counselor can be for our students. Maybe as you said, as the demands of our society change, and thus the demands of our educational system to meet these demands, so will the knowledge of our administrators to understand that they need to continue to look at the role of the guidance counselor and help it evolve into what is really beneficial to all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219341336117909546noreply@blogger.com
