    Theory of School Counseling

    Professional school counselors assume multiple responsibilities throughout their career,


    and the carrying out of duties that align with the ASCA (American School Counselor
    Association) National Model is central to school counselors professional role. First and
    foremost, I believe that the primary role of a professional school counselor is to support students
    and promote their holistic development to make certain that they perform at their optimal level
    across various aspects of their life. In order to support students, it is imperative that school
    counselors establish and maintain rapport with students throughout the counseling process
    because the quality of the relationship between the student and the school counselor determines
    the successfulness of the intervention. Therefore, good student-counselor relationships yield
    favorable counseling outcomes. It is also equally important that school counselors remain
    genuine and empathetic toward students; students receptiveness to support and assistance
    depends on school counselors attitudes and demeanor. And finally, acting in students best
    interests is the chief professional responsibility of a school counselor. Counseling strategies and
    techniques are to be centered around the students individually and to be uniquely developed
    based on their individual differences, preferences, conduct, aspirations, circumstances, and so
    forth. Upholding the aforementioned professional tasks is key to supporting students and
    facilitating their overall development growth, which will subsequently enable them to achieve
    their maximum potential.
    In addition, professional school counselors serve as leaders and advocates in the school
    community; they voice and address the concerns and issues raised by students, their parents or
    guardians, teachers, and members of their community. In collaboration with stakeholders, they
    strive to eliminate potential or existing factors and barriers that may prevent students from

    demonstrating their true abilities and to ascertain students, parents or guardians, faculty
    members satisfaction with the school system and culture. I believe school counselors play a
    significant role as advocates; to combat inequity, they question and challenge school rules and
    regulations that contribute to achievement gaps, limit student access to educational resources,
    and allow for unequal opportunities for underrepresented students. Furthermore, they collect
    qualitative and quantitative data to draw an informative picture of academic trends and gaps, and
    identify and target barriers that obstruct students passage to success. And in effort to create an
    enriching learning environment for the entire student body, school counselors actively push for
    improvement in school policies and for positive change in school climate and culture. As
    advocates, school counselors make a profound difference in students lives by ensuring they are
    successful in their academic, personal/social, and career development.
