"What Do Guidance Counselors Do?"
The attached charts
represent the different job responsibilities of our district school
guidance counselors. The information is based on the Massachusetts
School Counselor Association, which identifies four key components of
quality guidance programs:
- Guidance Curriculum
- Responsive Services
- Individual Planning
- System Support
These services and
supports build from grade to grade, with the amount of service time for
each component changing to best meet the needs of students at each
particular level. Our charts are divided by the grades in our school system:
If you have
questions about these charts or the role of school counselors, please
contact the guidance staff at the appropriate school.
