What do elementary school counselors do?
Elementary school counselors work with students individually and in small groups covering topics such as friendship, communication skills, stress and anger management, study skills, conflict resolution skills, loss and changing families. Counselors work in a collaborative role with staff members and parents to help all students obtain success. As the counselor at TRES, I teach classroom guidance lessons in every classroom every month. The lessons are developmentally appropriate and curriculum based. I also provide opportunities for parent sharing during evening workshops based on topics of interest.
