Kooken Guidance Counselor
- 听
As the school counselor, I visit classrooms once a month delivering guidance lessons over topics such as bullying, respect, and cross-cultural awareness. Parent trainings in collaboration with our Family Involvement Rep on topics regarding their preschoolers. Along with guidance lessons and parent training, I meet with students individually and in small groups.
Some areas I can be of assistance to students, teachers, and parents are:
Students:
- 听Understand and accept themselves and others better.
- 听Cope with family changes.
- 听Develop decision-making and problem-solving skills.
- 听Feel safe at school.
- 听Learn to handle strong emotions, such as anger and sadness.
- 听Learn conflict resolution skills.
- 听Use positive character traits to assist them in daily living.
Teachers and Administrators:
- 听Create a positive learning environment.
- Provide families with community agency information if needed/desired.
- Develop community partnerships to enhance student development.
Parents/Guardians:
- 听Understand their child’s emotions, behaviors, and learning styles.
- 听Assist parents in meeting their child’s needs.
I strive to promote the importance of kindness and respect on a daily basis. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.
