Missouri Comprehensive School Counseling Program

Our comprehensive school counseling program is composed of the following components:

School Counseling Curriculum: lessons presented to help students attain the desired Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) in the areas of social/emotional, academic and career development. The school counseling curriculum is systematically presented by school counselors in collaboration with teachers through classroom lessons or other learning activities.
Individual Student Planning: ongoing systemic activities designed to assist students in establishing personal goals, transitioning through school and developing future plans.
Responsive Services: activities designed to meet the immediate needs and concerns of students. Responsive services may include brief counseling in individual settings, small‐group settings or crisis response.
System Support: includes the management and evaluation activities and services required to effectively support a district or building comprehensive school counseling program.
