Podcast Episode: School Counseling and Student Achievement: The Impact of School Counselors

In this episode Jake is joined by Katie Baskerville and Dana Livermont from Rapid City, South Dakota as they discuss school counseling and what school counselors do.

A school counselor is a member of the education team, and is someone who gives valuable assistance to students, helping them with their academic goals, their social and personal development, and with their career development. They work in public or private elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.

School counselors make a positive impact in the lives of their students. Research supports the value of school counseling across a number of domains.

Many educators believe that teaching social, emotional, and behavioral skills to students is essential to modern education. Moreover, this can and should be the responsibility of the entire school community, as it reinforces student development.
