i)      I believe that when children are encouraged and nourished in a respectful setting, they can study and attain academic success. 

ii)     I believe that fostering all kids' social and emotional well-being will promote academic growth and success in the future.

·      Behaviors: Professional Foundation: Having the ability to understand and demonstrate the foundational tools as school counselor are essential to the success of not only the counselor but for the pupil as well.

School counselors should be willing to learn new styles, stay abreast of changes within the bylaws and always advocate for student success.  

·      Behaviors: Direct and Indirect Student Services: Providing adequate school ready materials to meet the requirements of each individual. I'd like to be able to provide constructive feedback to each student, allowing them to better understand their abilities, values, and career interests. As a school counselor, I want to provide a welcome, pleasant, and safe environment for each student in order to provide comfort during times of crisis. For their achievements and success, I will consult and collaborate with families, teachers, administrators, and other school employees.

·      Behaviors: Planning and Assessment: With this criteria in mind, I'd like to devise a strategy that not only supports the school's objective but also aligns with the student's. I'd also like to create and implement action plans that result in positive outcomes. I will be able to aid in bridging the disparities in achievement, attendance, discipline, opportunity, and resources using research and evidence-based action plans.

 

When looking at the results and considering other facets in social change, the percentages of the older aged respondents show that they are not as biased towards one option over another. In my opinion, as we age, our past experiences form our thoughts to be more optimistic about our futures and accepting of change. But I also believe we all have prejudices and unconscious biases in our minds based on our interactions with a particular set of individuals or experiences. School counselors or counselors in general can use this data and research to help depict the different methods to create better social change. This step in the research process is critical for knowing their goals and preferences so that one can create learning material that is essential to their students / clients.
