PROVISION OF SERVICES The school counselor provides developmental curriculum content in a systematic way to all students through the school counseling core guidance curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services, referrals and collaboration, and program management and school support. School counseling services are aimed at the more effective education and socialization of the student within the school community. School counseling services are not intended as a substitute for psychological counseling, diagnosis, or medication (which is not the responsibility of the school). Academic Achievement Concerns –Our Professional School Counselor helps students to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that contribute to effective learning in school and across the lifespan. Our PSC helps students to complete school with the academic preparation essential to choose from a wide range of choices for post-secondary college and career options. Our PSC also helps students understand the relationship among academics and the world of work as well as between life at home and life in the community. PSCs may also provide group counseling for students having similar academic concerns such as test anxiety, school adjustment, and attendance. Personal/Social Development Concerns – Our Professional School Counselor helps students to acquire the knowledge, attitudes and interpersonal skills that help them understand and respect themselves and others. Our PSC helps students make decisions, set goals, and take necessary action to achieve their goals. She also helps students understand safety and survival skills. Some student issues that our PSC addresses includes: short-term solution-focused interventions for peer conflict, peer relationships, school stress, test anxiety, drug and alcohol issues, anger management, and suicidal ideation. She also help students and their families find outside professional help when an issue requires a long-term intervention. ECA and APS contract with New Mexico Solutions to provide a Professional Mental Health Counselor on campus for longer term counseling needs/services. See the school counselor for more information. College & Career Planning – Our PSC helps students to acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills to investigate the world of work and make informed career decisions that align with their current interests. Our PSC also helps students to employ strategies to achieve future career goals and understand the relationship between personal qualities, education, training and the world of work. Students have the opportunity to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the EXPLORE as one means of identifying possible career goals. Students also participate in an advisory that helps them to explore their post-high school plans. Those plans are then documented in the spring semester through the Next Step Plan (NSP), which all students (8th – 12th grades) are required to complete. Resources for Academic and Career Planning – ECA’s School Counseling Center maintains a wide variety of resources for academic and career planning that are available for student and parent use. Career information includes career institutions and armed services brochures. College information includes catalogs, directories, videos, applications, and scholarships. Handouts with scholarship and career information website search engines are also available. Other resources include registration materials and study guides for national college entrance tests (ACCUPLACER< ACT, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests). Files are maintained for high school students on alternative schools, tutoring programs, summer opportunities, scholarships, and foreign exchange programs. Benefits/Risks - There are both risks and benefits associated with participation in counseling. Counseling may improve a student’s ability to relate with others, provide a clearer understanding of him/herself, along with goals, values, strengths, weaknesses, and an ability to deal with everyday stress. Counseling may also lead to unanticipated feelings and change. Nature and Limits of Confidentiality Information discussed in counseling sessions is generally confidential between the School Counselor and the student. However, there are exceptions:
