Though counselors do many class guidance lessons, there are six/seven core guidance lessons mandated by state law or District policy. Classroom guidance is to be presented in individual classrooms, not in large groups. Though counselors may well want to document all classroom guidance, documentation, with teacher and principal signatures, is required for the following class guidance presentations:

▪        Student Handbook/Counselor Orientation

▪        Anti-Harassment/ (Bullying & Cyber-bullying)

▪        Anti-Victimization & Internet safety 

         (WHO Program should be used at designated grade levels. ALL students must have an Anti-Victimization Lesson.)

▪        Higher Education/Career Awareness

▪        Wellness (stress management, test anxiety, healthy relationships)

▪        Suicide Prevention (Breaking The Code, Self-Worth, Personal Problem Solving)

▪        Teen Dating Violence (Grades 7-12)

Character education should be infused into all lessons
