Reference no: EM132386746

Assignment: Interviewing a school counselor is a great time to learn more about the roles of a school counselor. Reading chapters and articles are no comparison to speaking with a current school counselor. You will have a chance to ask about what the school counselor's views are on the school counseling profession.

Take this opportunity to observe the school if you have never been in a school setting. In fact, if you can observe the school counselor doing a classroom guidance lesson then that would be amazing! Something to consider is for those of you that have not been teachers, it might be a good idea to do some substitute teaching or volunteering to work in a school as a mentor or school counselor helper. This will provide you with a chance to get a feel of the school culture. You will not believe how different school settings are as they have their own culture and feel.

For your final project here are some tips:

- Use narrative form.

- You may use bullet points or sample schedule for Component 2

- Add any additional information that is helpful. You can add your thoughts and any examples to add depth and breadth to the material.

- Here is an example of an acceptable format for the final project:

Component I

When someone asks you how being a school counselor is different from being a mental health counselor, a social worker, or a school psychologist, what do you tell that person?

Use narrative of what the school counselor said. Add any information that is helpful.

Please explain what counseling credential you have (e.g., license or certificate) and what the qualifications are for this in your state. What examinations, if any, are required (e.g., Praxis)?

Use narrative of what the school counselor said. If you have any additional comments or questions, put the information her as well.

Continue with all the questions

OR You may simply write the responses of the school counselor without including the questions such as:

The school counselor indicated she thought the difference between the mental health fields was significant. Social workers do more coordination of services while school psychologists are employed by the schools for testing and diagnosing .............

She also indicated she received her master's in school counseling and needed certification from the Texas Board of Education to qualify for a school counselor position. She took a state test designed for school counselors and had at least three years of experience as a teacher in the school setting.

Component II A Day in the Life of a School Counselor

Describe in a narrative, or bullet points/time line, what the school counselors says are his or her typical duties (lunch, morning or dismissal/bus duties). Make sure to address how the school counselor works with students that drop into the office. How does the school counselor address discipline or crisis situations? Also, address the questions located on Blackboard. You do not need to make up a pretend narrative of a day, but what a schedule might look like of what to expect as a school counselor.

Acceptable narrative format:

In the morning, the school counselor said she helps with bus duty and also playground duty. She watches for any issues or helps maintain safety of students. She typically has a morning check in with students that involves watching for any unusual behaviors or concerns and to help start the children's day off with encouraging words.....

OR You may simply write a sample schedule. Acceptable Schedule format:

7:45-8:15 - bus and playground duty

8:15-8:40 - check in with students

8:45-9:15 - classroom guidance lessons

9:30-10:00 - small groups

Component III Reflection

Describe in a narrative what are your thoughts and feelings about what you learned from the interview?

What do you think about the school counselor's responsibilities? Do you agree with them or not?

What feeling did you get going to the school (if you went in person)?

How has your view of the role of the school counselor changed or not?
