The Professional School Counselor
Last Updated: 06/04/2008
The professional school counselor is a licensed educator who assists students, teachers, parents, and administrators in helping students reach their educational goals. School counselors are employed in elementary, middle/junior high, senior high, and post-secondary schools. Their work is differentiated by attention to student's age-specific developmental stages of growth. School counselors are human behavior and relationship specialists who organize their work around a framework of delivering a program of comprehensive counseling and guidance activities and services within public schools.
For more information on the profession, see "The Role of the Professional School Counselor" from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).
