The solution-focused model of counseling is highly adaptable to a wide range of problems, including grief, trauma and anxiety. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

Group counseling in schools is often based on themes such as anxiety regulation, social skill development or anger management. In the midst of a pandemic, school counselors may want to expand groups beyond narrow themes to include more students. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

Intentional efforts by school counselors can reduce racial disparities in higher level classes and increase numbers of students who are college/career ready. #FSUSC #SCCHATS

School counselors play a pivotal role in disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline. The social cost of school suspensions and dropouts in the 10th grade alone are estimated at $35 billion. #FSUSC #SCCHATS

School counselors are responsible for each and every student in the building and, unlike others on campus, they are in a position to focus on the educational journey of each student. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

Low-income students are likely to attend underfunded and under-resourced schools that do not offer advanced coursework. Increasing equitable access to rigorous curricula will help underserved students graduate from high school prepared for postsecondary success. #FSUSC #SCHAT

The school counselor as an advocate becomes the voice for students with low achievement, low socioeconomic and minority students. “Be the change you wish to see in the world”#FSUSC #SCCHATS

School counselors have a duty to the profession, themselves and their students to advocate for their roles, responsibilities and for having school counselors in the district at every level. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

As an anti-racist school counselor, one is needed to be equipped with empathy and compassion as well as being open to invite healthy conversations about racism and the importance of equality #FSUSC #SCCHATS

It is essential that school counselors foster increased awareness, understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity in the school and community through advocacy, networking and resource utilization to ensure a welcoming school environment #FSUSC #SCCHATS

School counselors are strong advocates for the need for courses to ensure all students have the opportunity to take classes that are required for college and career readiness #fsusc #scchats

It is imperative that school counseling programs support the educational success of all students most importantly those students from underrepresented populations #scchat #fsusc

[Jessica Rojas @Jcrojas05]

School counselors are able to address multilayer issues that affect students and see the potential in students even if they themselves don’t see it #fsusc #scchats

[Jessica Rojas @Jcrojas05]

The ASCA mindsets and behaviors are organized in 3 domains-academic, career and social/emotional development. These 3 domains enhance the learning process and create a culture of college and career readiness for all students #fsusc #scchat

[Jessica Rojas @Jcrojas05]

Elementary school counselors support students to achieve academic success though providing education, prevention, early identification and intervention. #FSUSC #SCCHAT

[Jessica Rojas @Jcrojas05]

Unfortunately, it’s very often that school counselors are not available to students of color or students from low income families. These students have been overlooked & underserved when in fact it is these students that deserve the most access to school counselors #FSUSC #scchat
