Theory of School Counseling

I believe the School Counselor responsibility is to become an advocate and a support


agent for all students but especially for those who are underserved. My belief is that every
student needs and deserves an optimum quality of education. Its our responsibility as school
counselors to provide the students with a solid foundation and a reliable support system within
the school to help them grow into responsible and successful citizens. I consider that every
school counselor should believe and use the American School Counselor Association (ASCA)
model to unsure that they creating well-rounded programs that reach all students academic,
career, and social/emotional needs. I believe that its the school counselors job to empower all
students especially those who are underserved to challenge each and every single one of them to
meet their full potential.
I believe that the schools success is also measured by how much the parental,
community and families involvement the school has. Therefore, it should be the School
Counselors priority to work closely with the parents and community leaders to build a school
community where students have additional support. Counselors should provide students with
additional resources personally and also using technology so they can have access to whatever
they need. Additionally, the School Counselors need to advocate for all of their students to
ensure that they are in an environment where they are being academically challenged to ensure
that can reach their maximum potential. They should strongly encouraged the principal to
provide AP courses, BI courses or any rigorous curriculum that will challenge students and
prepare them to be college ready.
A professional school counselor should uphold the highest ethical and legal standards. He
or she should also participate in professional development to keep up-to-date with the best
practices in the field of school counseling. School counselors should hold themselves and as well
as their students to the highest standards of learning. They should be committed to having a life
of continued learning. More importantly, School Counselors should have a multicultural
approach to ensure that all of the students despite of their cultural background have the same
access to resources and a good quality of education. Lastly, they should create a school
environment where all the students feel welcomed and accepted regardless of their sexuality, race
and/ or gender.
