The purpose of the responsive services component is to intervene on behalf of those students whose immediate personal concerns or problems put their continued personal-social, career, and /or educational development at risk. Although counselors respond to any concerns presented by students, some topics have been identified as having high priority and/or relevance within the school setting. Topics of priority in Fort Worth ISD include:

School-based issues, such as

attendance

school attitudes and behaviors

peer relationships

study skills

being new to the school

emergent issues in intervention or prevention of a traumatic event; and

violence on campus (school safety)

academic success

school drop-outs

severe stress

substance abuse

school-age pregnancy

gang pressures/involvement

harassment issues

career decision

financial aid

college choice

Personal issues, such as

death of a family member or friend

family divorce

family abuse

harassment issues

adolescent and child suicide

child abuse and neglect

Parents Role in the Responsive Services
Parent involvement with and participation in activities of this component are essential to helping children overcome barriers to their educational process. They refer their children for help, work with school staff to specify their children's issues and give permission for needed student services including on-going counseling.

Some responses are preventive: interventions with students who are on the brink of choosing an unhealthy or inappropriate solution to their problems or being unable to cope with a situation. Some responses are remedial: interventions with students who have already made unwise choices or have not coped well with problem situations.

In this component as in the others, locally identified needs will dictate the priorities for problem topics and for the groups of students to be served. A developmental guidance and counseling program includes supplemental guidance and counseling services for students targeted by special funding sources such as students in compensatory, gifted, migrant, special, or career and technology education programs.

The school counselors counsel individuals or small groups of students, appraise individuals for the purpose of problem identification, consult with teachers and parents, refer students and/or their parents and teachers to other specialists or special programs, coordinate programs and services with other specialists, and follow-up with students to monitor their progress toward resolution of their problems. If applicable, they train and supervise peer facilitators. Often they conduct guidance sessions in response to teachers' requests to address problems of particular groups, such as competitiveness or stress with classroom groups of gifted students.

School counselors offer services designed to increase student wellness, improve academic performance, and increase participation in postsecondary education. School counselors support students in their academic, career, and social-emotional development. They help students achieve success in school, pursue post-secondary opportunities, and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. As described in Texas Education Code (TEC) §33.005 and §33.006, a school counselor works with school faculty and staff, students, parents, and the community to plan, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program (CSCP). The school's CSCP includes the following four components:

Guidance Curriculum

Through a guidance curriculum, a school counselor guides students in developing their full educational potential and serves as a critical Tier I support for all students. This curriculum helps students develop competencies that align with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills appropriate for their developmental level. The guidance curriculum is delivered systematically by school counselors in collaboration with other professional educators. The curriculum includes K-12 classroom lessons and group activities.

Individual Student Planning

Through Individual Student Planning, a school counselor guides each student in planning, monitoring, and managing their educational, career, personal, and social development. To achieve this, school counselors work with other educational professionals to implement systemic activities that guide students in creating future goals and plans.

Responsive Services

Through the responsive services component, school counselors intervene on behalf of any student whose immediate personal concerns or problems put the student's continued educational, career, personal, or social development at risk. This can include preventive, remedial, or crisis situations. Responsive services are implemented through individual or small-group counseling, as well as through crisis response.

System Support

System support is the foundation of the comprehensive school counseling program (CSCP). School counselors plan, organize, implement, manage, and evaluate their school counseling program to increase efficiency and efficacy. In addition, school counselors coordinate with providers in the broad network of interrelated services offered in the school, district, and community to ensure individual student needs are met.

American School Counselor Association: A professional development association dedicated to supporting school counselors' efforts to help students focus on academic, career, and social/emotional development so they achieve success in school and are prepared to lead fulfilling lives as responsible members of society.

Lone Star State School Counselor Association: A professional development association dedicated to providing services and resources to meet the needs of school counselors across our great state of Texas.

Texas School Counselor Association: A professional development association dedicated to serving professional school counselors by advocating for and advancing the role of the professional school counselor and the comprehensive school guidance and counseling program throughout Texas.
