Lesson Plan

Counselor Connection Lesson Plan

Students will meet the school counselor, learn about the counselor’s role, and build rapport through a collaborative ice-breaker, so they understand how and when to seek support.

Building an early connection with the counselor creates a welcoming environment, fosters trust, and encourages students to seek support, boosting emotional well-being and academic success.
