Counseling Program Components

All of the activities and services of our Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Program are grouped into four interactive program components:
  • Guidance and Counseling Curriculum
  • Individual Student Planning
  • Responsive Services
  • System Support

I.  Guidance and Counseling Curriculum

The SVJHS Guidance and Counseling Curriculum promotes knowledge, attitude and skills by delivering content to all students in the areas of academics, career, personal/social growth. ​ 
​Curriculum may be delivered through
(not limited to):  
  • Classroom Instruction
  • Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development
  • Group Activities & Parent Instruction

II.  ​Individual Student Planning

​The South Valley Junior High Guidance and Counseling Department organize ongoing systematic activities designed to assist students in establishing personal goals and developing future plans. Individual student planning is implemented through such strategies as the following:

Appraisal - School counselors work with students in analyzing and evaluating their abilities, interests, skills, and achievements. Test information and other evaluation data form a basis for developing short-term and long-term plans with students and their parents/guardians.

Advisement
 - School counselors work with students to use personal/social, educational, and career and labor market information to manage their personal plans of study. The involvement of school staff and parents is critical in planning a program that meets the individual needs of students.

​Transition
 - School counselors assist students in making the transition from grade to grade and school to school or school to work.

III.  Responsive Services

​Responsive Services consist of activities designed to meet immediate needs and concerns of students whose personal circumstances, concerns, or problems are threatening to interfere with or are interfering with their healthy academic, career, and personal/social development.  

​Responsive services are available to all students and may be student-, teacher- or parent-initiated. While school counselors have special training and skills to respond to these needs and concerns, the cooperation and support of the entire faculty and staff are necessary for successful implementation.

Responsive services are delivered through the following: Consultation, Individual/Crisis Counseling, Small Group Counseling and Referral.

IV.  System Support

​The South Valley Junior High counselors use their leadership and advocacy skills to promote systematic change.  An effective school counseling program is comprehensive, preventative, developmentally appropriate, data driven and an integral part of the total educational program.
