data-driven, research-based curriculum to students.
Combining discussions and stories with fun activities and family resources, students will learn social-emotional skills to use for the rest of their lives.
Our school counseling curriculum includes decision-making; goal setting; teamwork; problem solving; emotion regulation; empathy; and friendship skills. Skills learned help students succeed in and out of the classroom. We strive to promote positive development in academic, career, and personal/social domains through:
- Individual counseling
- Small group counseling focusing on friendships, study skills, organization, teamwork, listening, and empathy
- Classroom guidance (i.e. Large group counseling)
- Minute meetings with grades 5&6
- Attend and participate in academic intervention meetings
- Observe students in various school environments
- Consult and collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators, social workers, and students
- Respond to school crises or emergency situations
- Provide information and resources to parents on a variety of issues
In addition to working with each student, we partner with Villa staff, families, and community stakeholders to address student needs to help them achieve success both in and outside the classroom.
