UConn School Counseling

[Ashley Maturo @AshleyMat2018]

There are many factors that can affect truancy. We need to make sure students are being heard and that both counselors and teachers have a better understanding as to why students are choosing not to come to school. #uconnsc #counselingcollab

The more genuine a school counselor is, the more likely their students will trust them #uconnsc #counselingcolab

It is important for us as counselors to engage all our students not just those who seek out help #uconnsc #acp

One of our goals as school counselors is to prepare our students to find sustainable careers #uconnsc #acp

Today's class served as great practice for how we would go about handling these implicit bias issues in our future careers #UCONNSC #EdEquity

Recognizing our biases before we interact with students make us more effective educators #UCONNSC #EdEquity

It is important to remember that school counselors are not only resources for career exploration and academic achievement but for personal social growth as well #UCONNSC #SCETHICS #SCCC

As counselors, we need to remember to always act professional within our community. We serve as role models to students both inside and outside of work #UCONNSC #SCETHICS #SCCC

What should a school counselor do if a school doesn't have the resources to provide to a student for them to be successful #UCONNSC #SCProgramEquity

Recognizing an individual's own unique background and access to resources allows for more equitable outcomes for the student population as a whole #UConnSC #SCProgramEquity

The community within a school system can play an important role in a school's mission statement #UConnSC. #ASCAModel

"Our mission is create a safe space for all students to develop their own post-secondary and personal goals" #UConnSC #ASCAModel

The book states that school counselors are sometimes the only counseling students will ever receive. It's important to educate ourselves as future counselors on mental health issues in order to ensure we are able to help our students be successful and be in good health #UCONNSC

A concern of mine is students not receiving enough guidance on what to do if they decide not to attend college. I went to a high school where college was pushed on students immensely and if a students could not afford it, there was not a lot of guidance on other options. #UCONNSC
