MISSION OF THE TAYLOR ROAD
GUIDANCE & COUNSELING PROGRAM
The major goals of our guidance program are to help students develop socially, emotionally and academically and to maintain the safe and positive climate of our school. Research shows that social-emotional learning helps students achieve academically and improves positive behavior of students. My current responsibilities include:
-
Classroom Guidance - Monthly lessons on study skills, bully prevention, social skills and the character words. Students often get tags with the character words to add to their collections.
-
Small Groups - These groups meet for 6 - 8 weeks on specific topics such as friendship, divorce, grief, and self-control.
-
Individual Counseling - Students may meet with me individually to discuss concerns. Referrals may be made to outside counseling for ongoing or family concerns.
-
Character Education: Lessons on the Terrific Tornado Traits, Student-of-the-Month Recognition, and 4th Grade Character Council (check out the Character Council page for information and more pictures!).
2009 - 2010 CHARACTER COUNCIL
-
Intervention Assistance Team (IAT)/Response to Intervention (RtI) Coordination: If teachers discover a student needs extra support, they may schedule an IAT meeting with parents, intervention teachers, and the school psychologist to determine a plan of action to help the student achieve. We are working toward implementing an RtI model to best serve our students.
