WPCSD VisionThe vision of the Whitney Point Central School is to become a community of excellence achieved through high performance, morale and involvement.

WPCSD MissionTo provide an excellent education ensuring that all children maximize their potential, become contributing citizens, and pursue lifelong learning.

Guidance MissionThe mission of the Whitney Point Central School District Comprehensive School Counseling

Program is to advocate and provide support for maximum student achievement in the areas of

academic, career, and social/emotional growth. School counselors work with parents,

educators, and the community to provide developmentally appropriate and comprehensive

services that meet the needs of all students in order for them to become productive members of

an ever-changing global society.

As counselors of the WPCSD, we believe:● all students are capable of learning, achieving and acquiring knowledge in different ways

and at different rates.

● all students are valued as individuals and should have access to an opportunity for a

high-quality education.

● all students should graduate from high school prepared for postsecondary opportunities

● all students have a right to, and will benefit from, a comprehensive counseling program

that is culturally and developmentally appropriate.

● effective school counseling is a collaborative process involving school counselors,

students, families, teachers, administrators, community leaders and other stakeholders.

● school counselors are leaders in the school, district, state and nation.

● comprehensive school counseling programs promote and enhance student outcomes.

● school counselors’ background, experiences, knowledge, attitudes, skills, interests,

values and beliefs determine their sense of identity and influences relationships with

their students.

FoundationSchool counselors create comprehensive school counseling programs that focus on student outcomes, teach student competencies and are delivered with identified professional competencies.

Program Focus: To establish program focus, school counselors identify personal beliefs that address how all students benefit from the school counseling program. Building on these beliefs, school counselors create a vision statement defining what the future will look like in terms of student outcomes. In addition, school counselors create a mission statement aligned with their school’s mission and develop program goals defining how the vision and mission will be measured.

Student Standards: Enhancing the learning process for all students, the "ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student" guide the development of effective school counseling programs around three domains: academic, career and social/emotional development. View the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors Planning Tool. School counselors also consider how other student standards important to state and district initiatives complement and inform their school counseling program.

Professional Competencies: The ASCA School Counselor Competencies outline the knowledge, attitudes and skills that ensure school counselors are equipped to meet the rigorous demands of the profession. The ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors specify the principles of ethical behavior necessary to maintain the highest standard of integrity, leadership and professionalism. They guide school counselors’ decision-making and help to standardize professional practice to protect both students and school counselors.

DeliverySchool counselors provide services to students, parents, school staff and the community in the

following areas:

Direct Student ServicesDirect services are in-person interactions between school counselors and students and include the

following:

School counseling core curriculum: This curriculum consists of structured lessons designed to help students attain the desired competencies and to provide all students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills appropriate for their developmental level. The school counseling core curriculum is delivered throughout the school’s overall curriculum and is systematically presented by school counselors in collaboration with other professional educators in K-12 classroom and group activities.

Individual student planning: School counselors coordinate ongoing systemic activities designed to assist students in establishing personal goals and developing future plans.

Responsive services: Responsive services are activities designed to meet students’ immediate needs and concerns. Responsive services may include counseling in individual or small-group settings or crisis response.

Page 22: 2019-2020 CCP_2019 … · Web view4-8 CAREER OBJECTIVES: Each student will develop a career plan throughout grades 4-8 using individual planning sessions, classroom career lessons,

ManagementSchool counselors incorporate organizational assessments and tools that are concrete, clearly delineated and

reflective of the school’s needs. Assessments and tools include:

School counselor competency and school counseling program assessments toself-evaluate areas of strength and improvement for individual skills and program activities

Use-of-time assessment to determine the amount of time spent toward the recommended 80 percent or more of the school counselor’s time to direct and indirect services with students

Annual agreements developed with and approved by administrators at the beginning of the school year addressing how the school counseling program is organized and what goals will be accomplished

Advisory council made up of students, parents, teachers, school counselors, administrators and community members to review and make recommendations about school counseling program activities and results

Use of data to measure the results of the program as well as to promote systemic change within the school system so every student graduates college- and career-ready

Curriculum, small-group and closing-the-gap action plans including developmental, prevention and intervention activities and services that measure the desired student competencies and the impact on achievement, behavior and attendance

Annual and weekly calendars to keep students, parents, teachers and administrators informed and to encourage active participation in the school counseling program

AccountabilityTo demonstrate the effectiveness of the school counseling program in measurable terms, school counselors analyze school and school counseling program data to determine how students are different as a result of the school counseling program. School counselors use data to show the impact of the school counseling program on student achievement, attendance and behavior and analyze school counseling program assessments to guide future action and improve future results for all students. The performance of the school counselor is evaluated on basic standards of practice expected of school counselors implementing a comprehensive school counseling program.
