It is critical for school counselors to advocate for themselves, and this is best done by maintaining a highly professional profile and making an obvious, pronounced impact in your school. As a school counselor, especially in the elementary grades, counselors set the tone for the school year. It has been said that a counselor is the heart of the school; she can bring a sense of purpose, unity, tolerance, and even joy to the school that she works in. As a counselor, I will strive to fill this role by developing responsibility, tolerance, and understanding in kids through my guidance curriculum; responding promptly, professionally, and empathetically to concerns of parents and students as well as teachers and administrators, assisting families and students with planning for future events, and being a reliable member of the faculty.
I will maintain accountability for my work by keeping records of my assessments and their outcomes. I will maintain that a measure of the school's overall success rating should be linked to my programs, and develop a method of measuring the various domains in which I have direct control and influence.
