  • What is Classroom Guidance?
    Classroom Guidance is generally a 30-minute block where the school counselor comes into the classroom to share a character-building lesson. Lessons often include a story/video, a hands-on game/activity, and a discussion. School counselors visit each K-5 classroom once every 6 weeks. The curriculum follows the ASCA (American School Counselor Association) standards.
