Comprehensive School Counseling Program

School counseling programs at all levels offer a variety of services that follow The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs, 5th edition. Services provided fall under four domains: guidance curriculum, responsive services, individual planning, and system support. A comprehensive school counseling program is developed to meet the needs of the campus and its students; therefore, each component may vary slightly from campus to campus.

• INDIVIDUAL PLANNNING

Designed to assist students in developing and addressing their academic, career, personal, and social goals.

 

• SYSTEM SUPPORT
