Counselor Connect Lesson Plan

8th-grade students will meet their school counselor, learn how to access support services, and create personalized name tents while sharing their insights through pre- and post-session surveys to prepare for a successful 8th grade and transition to 9th grade.

Introducing 8th graders to their counselor builds trust, clarifies available supports, fosters a positive classroom community, and gives the counselor key insights into students’ needs as they finish middle school.
