Lesson Plan

Counselor Connection Lesson Plan

Students will meet their school counselor, learn about academic, career, and social-emotional support services, and complete aligned pre- and post-surveys to reflect on their understanding and build trust.

Familiarizing 8th graders with counseling services fosters trust, encourages help-seeking behavior, and aligns with ASCA standards to support academic success, career readiness, and social-emotional development.
