COUNSELOR'S CORNER
Laura Zebley, MA, NCC, LPC, RMS Counselor 7-8th Grade
Fun School Counselor fact:
We are NOT called Guidance Counselors any longer, we are School Counselors.
In the past, the title "Guidance Counselor" was used to describe counselors working in a school. Their role was primarily focused on "guiding" students to post-secondary education and scheduling, Guidance Counselor is an outdated term.
A lot has changed, and today's School Counselors have master's degrees in counseling and use national standards to cover concepts in 3 domains; Academic Development, Career Development, and Social/Emotional Development.
The title "School Counselor" today recognizes that counselors address the needs of the whole student and are proactive, data-informed leaders in the school community.
