Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling is a program that has been
approved in the Saline Schools for many years. Counselors throughout
the district adhere to the State of Michigan approved curriculum.
In the Elementary Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling program/curriculum
we focus much of our time on classroom presentations or teaching
students life skills.
Our lessons, which last from 30-45 minutes, focus on providing students
with information and skills that will help them reach their
potential and improve their success as a student. Skills include
conflict
resolution/management skills, study skills, friendship/social
skills, and understanding feelings and emotions, just to name a few
of the
areas we may focus on.
We also provide educational support groups for such issues as divorce/families
in transition, grief and loss, building friendships, and anger management.
We meet with students individually, also.
As needed, we work closely with parents, teachers, the School Principal
and other school staff to assist with the positive development of
all students.
