As school counselors, our mission is to empower all students to reach their full potential by providing a comprehensive and developmental school counseling program that promotes personal growth and academic success. Our efforts in these areas for our students are part of a collaborative model that includes parents, teachers, administrators, and community stakeholders. Program goals that promote academic, college/career, and social/emotional development are based upon school data and needs assessments. The ultimate objective is to help students identify their interests and abilities, strengthen their unique capabilities, and instill a desire to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
The vision of the Mulberry Creek Elementary School Counseling program is to provide a data-driven, comprehensive school counseling program that nurtures the students’ academic, social/emotional, and college/career development that will encourage students to achieve their full potential to become responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
I believe school counselors have the privilege to help all students meet high standards and high expectations in all areas of their lives: academic, career, and social/emotional development.
I advocate for equal access to all programs for all students with all stakeholders so that the needs of all students will be met.
I encourage a positive, safe, orderly, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment through the implementation of our core curriculum, through small group and individual responsive services, and by promoting positive behaviors in others.
I believe that responsible student behavior and a passion for lifelong learning will develop through the implementation of the comprehensive and developmental school counseling program with all stakeholders working together to fulfill a common mission.
I utilize data as a tool to develop, deliver, and evaluate our comprehensive school counseling program.
I adhere to the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors and the Georgia Code of Ethics for Educators to ensure that all students are being served by professionals with high standards.
I believe professional school counselors should continue to develop professionally by attending conferences, workshops, and programs to increase their overall knowledge in the field of school counseling.
