Introduction

You will use this notebook to document your school counseling program.  Each section contains a guide or samples that you will use to develop your school-specific documents to document your school counseling program.

One goal is for you to be able to easily share various components of your school counseling program with others.  This may include the Office of Performance Audits personnel, WVDE on-site review teams, other counselors, parents, administrators, your central office personnel and your local school board.

Another goal is to provide a seamless transition when you leave your current position.  A clearly documented program allows a new counselor to easily pick up and build upon what you have done to better support student success.

You may keep your documents as an electronic notebook or as a hard copy on your desk. You may add additional sections or tabs that represent your school counseling program.  This guide represents a minimum of what you need to document.
