Secondary School Counselors

Paper Summary:

This paper is a copy of a project aimed at improving the significance of high school counselors. The paper explores a manual for secondary school counselors, which will identify and streamline tasks, meaning that counselors will be provided with a clear manual that describes how much time should be spent meeting the individual needs of secondary school students through face-to-face meetings and how much time should be spent doing administrative tasks in the office.

From the Paper:

"This lack of a consistent and a clearly defined role for counselors may also have contributed to the reduction in counseling time and increased counseling ratios. According to Meston (2003), the variations in job duties may have led some district and school administrators to question why some tasks have to be done by counselors, as many tasks are being done by other, often less expensive, employees in the schools. The concerns expressed by counselors, therefore, are less a united voice reacting against a single complaint, and more a collection of individual concerns aimed at protecting individual interpretations of their role as counselors."
