- Advise students to make decisions about their future based on their unique abilities, interests, and achievements.
- Provide professional assistance and support to a student or small group of students during times of transition, heightened stress, critical change or other situations impeding student success (grief, divorce, study skills, social skills etc.).
- Recognize and respond to student mental health needs and assist students and families seeking resources.
- Share strategies supporting student achievement with parents, teachers, other educators and community organizations.
- Collaborate with educators, parents and the community to support student achievement.
