An effective Comprehensive Developmental
Guidance & Counseling Program benefits everyone:
students, parents, teachers, administrators, school
boards, business and guidance personnel. It benefits:
- students by guaranteeing
services to all students, providing a developmental approach of planned, sequenced
guidance activities, and increasing the opportunity for students to interact with
counselors.
- parents by providing support for
their child's development, providing a system of long-term planning, and increasing
opportunities for parents to interact with counselors.
- teachers through the use of
calendared activities, and a supportive working relationship that gives teachers greater
accessibility to the counselor as a class presenter and resource person.
- administrators by creating a
structured program with specific guidance content, a measure of effectiveness, and an
enhanced image of guidance services in the community.
- school boards by providing a
rationale for including guidance & counseling services as part of the total
educational program provided by the school system, and by current data regarding student
competencies obtained through the guidance program.
- business by helping prepare a
potential work force with decision-making skills, pre-employment skills, and increased
worker maturity.
- guidance personnel by providing
counselors with a clear, educationally-based role & function, professional identity,
and tools for program management & accountability.
