My Professional Philosophy of School Counseling

My Professional Philosophy of School Counseling

# data[].attributes.body
*I believe all students should have access to an efficient counseling program to ensure academic, career, and social/emotional development success.

* I understand that all students learn differently, but with an individualized plan, I believe all students can learn, grow, and meet academic, career, and social/emotional development standards.

*All students should have the same opportunity to receive a quality education, which will help them successfully transition to post-secondary opportunities.

*I feel students, teachers, administration, and parents/guardians must create a culture where students feel safe, seen, heard, and valued.

School counselors advocate for students by implementing and upholding a vision statement that ensures success in future students.

Leading the culture change to implement the school counseling vision statement is when systemic change will occur.

Consult and Collaborate with Other Stakeholders to Support My Work

# data[].attributes.body
*I believe data will be my biggest ally while consulting and collaborating with other stakeholders to support my school counseling program. I must educate teachers, administrators, and parents/guardians about the ASCA model, explain the benefits, and present data to show the program's effectiveness.

*To build relationships, I will collaborate and coordinate by offering training and demonstrating open communication. With administrators, I will show that the ASCA model is how we achieve the school's goals and vision statement.

*When implementing my vision statement, it will be important to remember that positive change in school culture does not happen overnight. It will be a process involving education, development of policy, procedure, and standards, and buy-in from the staff and administration.

Changes made today will support students academically, emotionally, and in their careers for years to come.

*The ASCA Ethical Standards will shape my work as a school counselor by providing guidelines for my responsibility to students, parents/guardians, school, colleagues, and myself.

*A data-informed program is needed to ensure collaboration with parents, colleagues, and outside resources, resulting in student development, confidentiality, academics, mindsets, and behaviors (ASCA, 2019).

*These standards ensure the highest integrity, leadership, and professionalism is maintained.

*Successful implementation of these guidelines is when systemic change will occur, and all students will see success in academics, career, and social/emotional development.
