School Counseling Education

School Counseling Topics and Theories

Shaping students’ lives, reforming current educational systems, and helping to create a better future for all. This is the reason for school counselors to exist in our schools.

However, as simple as our goals for students are to explain, the road to achievement is not nearly as transparent. School counselors need comprehensive knowledge of various concepts, theories, practices and methods in order to be able to create counseling strategies, evaluation procedures and assessments.
