Changed Impressions

Previously I stated that counselors were more like shirks (Psychiatrist) than anything else. After completing the required reading they have some additional responsibilities. They may include but is not limited to student scheduling; IGP (Individual Graduation Plan) development; IEP (Individualized Education Programs); SST (Student Study Teams); Consultants to special education teachers; and mat serve as administrator if designated the principal. This may seem like a lot but the Guidance Counselor does have some additional resources themselves such as Social workers and Community outreach if necessary. The school Guidance Counselor also to meet deadlines set by State and Federal government. No wonder why my High School Counselor was always stressed out.
