The Counselor's Corner

Guidance

Mrs. Susan Carson

 

The primary goal of the School Counseling Program is to promote and enhance student success through the areas of academic development, career development and personal/social development. This is achieved through counseling, collaboration, and consultation.

 

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
  I meet with students on a one-to-one basis so the student can share feelings, relate ideas, and discuss concerns about academics or personal/social issues.  Students, parents, and teachers may make a referral and an appointment to see me.

 

SMALL GROUP COUNSELING
Counseling services are provided to students in a small group after consultation with teachers and parents.  Topics are based on students' needs and may include such issues as:

- Self-esteem

- Friendship Skills

- Grief/Loss

- Divorce/Changing Families
- Anger Management

                                   

Classroom Guidance

 Classroom guidance is offered twice a month in each class (Pre-K to Grade 5).  Topics may include:

- Bullying/Harassment
- Student Success Skills
-Respect for Self and Others
- Personal Safety
- Conflict Resolution
- Career Awareness
- Transitions

 

CONSULTATION:
 I provide information and skills for parents/guardian, teachers, and the community to assist them with helping their students in academic, career, and/or personal social development.

 

COORDINATION/COLLABORATION:
 I serve as a liaison between teachers, parents/guardians, school personnel, nurses, support personnel, and community resources.  I do classroom observations for students with behavior and/or academic problems.

 

I can be reached by calling the school office at 410-222-1622 or by e-mail at sdcarson1@aacps.org.
