Overview
Key facts
As an integral part of the total educational program for student success, school counselors learn to design, develop, implement and evaluate their comprehensive school counseling program to ensure that every student receives developmentally appropriate competencies in academic, career and personal/social development.
School counselors become professional student advocates who promote equity and access to a rigorous education for every student and who work to prevent and remove barriers to learning.
