[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Off the top of my head, some things I do as a HS counselor:

Map out four year plans with kids
Plan for college with kids and support them throughout entire application process 
Meet with kids at the request of concerned peers, teachers, and/or parents
Conduct check-ins 
Attend attendance concern meetings, help with the action plan  
Prepare and conduct 504 meetings
Individual counseling for academic, social/emotional, and college/career topics Plan and teach classroom lessons (personal body safety, career inventories and activities, suicide awareness, college planning, academic planning, etc.)
Course registration
Attend IEP meetings
Master scheduling assistance
Parent meetings
Facilitating teacher-parent-student meetings Writing college recommendations
Run small group counseling (if I can!)
Classroom observations and and FBAs
Facilitate EMT meetings
Conduct transcript reviews several times a year
Graduation planning and validation meetings
Handling crisis situations
Help students with college essays
Fixing and cleaning up schedules and processing schedule change requests
A lot of administrative work

There’s probably more, but you probably get the idea.

The mental health counselors often work with more severe cases or with kids that qualify for in-school therapy, but I still do social/emotional counseling daily. We often work together as a team. We also still help a ton with college/career with support from the career coach. With large caseloads, we support one another as a team and have crossover with the same kids. Some kids I see daily or weekly, others seek me out maybe once or twice a year, depending on their individual needs. [/quote]
