Welcome!!
I am so
proud to be the School Counselor at Greenwood Elementary School. Elementary Counselors, like teachers, are
professional educators. We use a
guidance/counseling curriculum for instruction (K-5). My goal is to visit every classroom at least
once a month to teach lessons that are developmentally appropriate to every
grade level. School counselors focus on
the varying social, emotional, academic, career awareness, and health needs of
students in the school. We work collaboratively with parents, teachers,
administrators, and community agencies to help students achieve school
success. The Greenwood Counseling
Program is designed to help students as they develop good life-long learning,
decision-making, and social skills, as well as good character traits.
The
Greenwood Elementary School Counseling Program includes services that fall into
these four categories:
1. Guidance/Counseling Curriculum- MCPS (K-5) 3.
Responsive Counseling
2. Individual Counseling 4.
System Support
Guidance/Counseling Curriculum:
Four components make up the guidance/counseling curriculum: Personal & Social Development, Academic Development, Career Development, and Health.
These components are delivered through classroom counseling lessons and
small group activities.
Individual Counseling:
Through this service, counselors help students with goal-setting,
academic, social, and emotional issues on an individual basis.
Responsive Counseling: These services are delivered as
needed, and address immediate or urgent needs of students, groups or families,
usually necessitated by life events or situations in the students’ lives.
Systems Support:
These services help to support Greenwood’s parents, students, and staff
throughout the school year. Some of
these services include, but are not limited to:
- Scheduling Character education assemblies or
guest speakers
- Coordinating the Safety Patrols
- 7 Effective Habits(Covey), and
Being A Good Citizen programs
- Coordinating “counselor nights” or parent workshops/ parent support groups
- Special Education, Educational Management Team
(EMTs), Student Support, Instructional Leadership Team(ILT), School Improvement Planning(SIP), 504 case
