What is Classroom Guidance?

Guidance is just one of the ways I get to know the students at Voyager Academy.  
What does it looks like?

I come to students' classes and teach a 30-45 minute lesson.  I use short video clips, PowerPoint, books, games, role play, and worksheets to teach a variety of topics about personal/social issues, academics, and careers.  The depths of the topics I teach are based on the age/maturity level of our students.  

I like to have students show what they learned through a worksheet I create that usually involves writing and drawing.  Many of these worksheets come home with students, so you can see what they discussed in Guidance that day.

Topics we discuss include:

-Character
-Bullying
-Friendships
-Feelings and coping skills
-Careers
-Goal setting
-Problem solving
-Identity
​-Mindfulness


Guidance Curriculum

Yes, it may be a bit surprising, but School Counselors just like teachers have a curriculum we have to follow.  The lessons I teach are based off of these standards.

NC Guidance Essential Standards
ASCA National Standards

ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors
