SGC 512 - Developmental Guidance for Middle/High School Counselors


Credits: 3

Candidates will use, manage, analyze, and present data from school-based information (e.g., standardized testing, grades, enrollment, attendance, retention, placement, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and needs assessment) in order to develop a plan to improve student outcomes for children in middle/high schools. They will learn how to access/use current technological systems for aggregating this information (e.g., Infinite Campus). They will design and learn how to implement, monitor, and evaluate a comprehensive middle/high school counseling program based on the ASCA National Standards for School Counseling Programs that includes an awareness of various systems that affect students, home, and school. In addition, they will prepare a school counseling calendar that reflects appropriate time commitments and priorities based on assisting students in achieving academic, career, and personal/social competencies identified by the overall developmental guidance program.
