The Department of School Counseling supports School Counselors in promoting, facilitating, and implementing a comprehensive school counseling plan through utilizing a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) approach that ensures every student receives School Counseling services universally and targeted and strategic interventions through small group and individual lessons, if needed.Ìý The current student/School Counselor ratio is 300:1.
School counselors facilitate and implement classroom lessons and large group presentations that may reflect three areas of the curriculum: Personal/Social Development; Academic Development; and Career Development.Ìý Additionally, special presentations, such as the annual College and Career Fair, FAFSA Information Nights,ÌýI CAREÌý Campaigns and student-based activities that encourage positive growth and life-skills training are being facilitated and implemented throughout the district by the School Counselors.
Students are individually guided by their school counselors toward academic and career success in a variety of ways. Academic excellence is promoted through individual meetings, classroom lessons, small group activities, and school-wide recognition. Working individually with school counselors, students establish short and long-term educational and career goals. Career exploration is done at every level through the use of classroom lessons, speakers, career fairs, career inventories, technology, etc.Ìý In the high schools, School CounselorsÌý partner with agencies such as LOSFA to assist students and families both individually and in larger groups to disseminate important post-secondary information about such topics as financial aid, testing, majors and admissions procedures/policies.
A major portion of the School Counselor’s day is spent on Responsive Services. School counselors provide both individual and group counseling, however School CounselorsÌýdo notÌýprovide therapy. Most individual work involves dealing with short-term issues. Group counseling topics depend upon the needs of the school and students. Many of the group sessions are formatted into lessons utilizing the ReThink Ed Platform as a resource tool. School Counselors also work with families by providing an external resource list to families regarding contact information for agencies/therapists. This list is a resource list only as School CounselorsÌýdo notÌýmake referrals to outside agencies or therapists.Ìý Counselors work extensively with other school and district personnel in consultation regarding the personal, social/emotional, and academic well-being of students.Ìý
School Counselors and the School Counseling Department staff are members of a large team – that of the school and the district. They engage in a number of activities to promote the excellence of the ÌÇÐÄvlogÊÓƵ School District. Because of the individual and personal nature of the work, it is critical for the District Counseling Staff and School Counselors to remain abreast of current and relevant topics and techniques related to student success. Thus, they continuously engage in continuing education experiences to gain such expertise and knowledge. In addition, what is learned is shared with their colleagues, faculty and staff.Ìý
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System and all of its entities (including Career and Technical Education Programs) do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, national origin, disability, or gender in its educational programs and activities (including employment and application for employment), and it is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of gender by Title IX (20 USC 168) and on the basis of disability by Section 504 (42 USC 794).
