Counseling in a School Setting
School Counselors work with students, teachers, parents,
and administrators to help ensure that students' educational, vocational, and emotional
needs are being met. School counselors provide crisis intervention services and
individual and group counseling to help all students develop their educational,
social, career, and personal strengths and become responsible and productive citizens.
They are perceived as problem solvers, although a more accurate description is to
describe them as professionally trained educators who help students, parents, and
teachers solve problems. School counselors are trained to confer with all enrollees,
regardless of each student's abilities or disabilities. They also work closely with
principals, teachers, health professionals, and parents.
Students graduating from the program having completed the requirements for the School
emphasis are endorsed for counseling in K-12 school settings in the state of
South Dakota
. This program emphasis accredited
by the Council of Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP),
the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and the
State of South Dakota, Division of Education (DOE). The program prepares students
for endorsement/certification as a school counselor in the state of
South Dakota
. Should the student seek endorsement
in another state, it is that student’s responsibility to meet any additional requirements
by that particular state.
