  1. A Vision for Counseling Baldwin-Whitehall School District Vision Stephanie A. McHugh Guidance Supervisor

  2. The ASCA Model • The American School Counselors Association Model is shaped around three domains: • ACADEMIC • We must engage the head of a Fighting Highlander. • CAREER • We must empower the hands of a Fighting Highlander. • PERSONAL/SOCIAL • We must encourage the heart of a Fighting Highlander.

  3. Academic Domain • The Vision for the Counseling Program is that of “Command Central”, as all academic information is in some way touched by Counseling. Counselors assess where the student was, is, and wants to be and assist the student in a successful launch toward the future.

  4. Career Domain • The Vision for the Counseling Program is that of “North Star”. We do not exist to tell students what to do or whom to be. We are a quiet, firm mark upon which they may focus to get their bearings when lost.

  5. Personal/Social Domain • The Vision for the Counseling Program is that of the “Eye of the Storm”. Through the tumult of the teen years we are a calm center amid the chaos. We are where students feel safe and where some semblance of wisdom and control can be borrowed or recognized. We initially provide this for them, but then teach them how to provide it for themselves.

  6. Now that you know what we do…. …let me share how we will do it.
