There were many good topics that were talked about throughout these 4 meetings. I learned many things from the Academic Success Center, Student Counseling and Resource Center, Library, and the Academic Services. The all seem like very good resources for students attending Lindenwood. The academic success center seems like a very good tool for all students to use. Here is their mission statement: “The mission of the Academic Success Center (ASC) is to help students achieve their educational goals while supporting their development toward being efficient, independent learners with a commitment to academic excellence.”.

Their mission statement is, “We are dedicated to helping students achieve the kinds of academic success, personal growth, and balance that lead to rich, full, and healthy lives.”. Students can go to the Counseling and Resource Center for many different things. They can go for counseling whether it be individual or group, career testing, their feelings, personal/relationship problems, and personal habits whether it be bad or good. The Student Counseling and Resource Center is completely confidential and free. During the meeting about the Library we were told many things about our library. Students can go to the library to have a quiet place to learn, find books or articles they need for a class, and free access to computers. The librarians are there to help you. They are so determined to help students that they have created a 24 hour chat, where you can get help from one of them. There are so many links on the library’s site that can help you with writing a paper for one of your
In this research paper there will be a discussion on how effective school counseling programs are in school. The reason this topic is being researched is because questions have come up asking whether or not school counseling programs are helping the students and what is the role of the school counselor. According to the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) ?A Comprehensive school counseling program is, driven by student data and based on standards in academic, career and personal/social
Direct student services are in person interaction between the counselor and student. The services are described as, school counseling core curriculum, individual student planning, and responsive services. As a trainee, it has been well-educated that those three aspects of direct service is vital for the success of each student. The core curriculum are lessons that are designed to assist and attain desired competencies and to provide the knowledge, attitude, and skill needed for each student developmental level (ASCA, 2016). For instance, a

Without external support outside the counseling session many underrepresented groups are not being assisted in a variety of ways. The NACADA declaration of core values states “Advisors are sensitive to the values of the surrounding community of making higher education more accessible through educational opportunities and resources”. Brilliant students who do not receive academic or financial assistance through supporting services (e.g. Learning Centers, EOP&S, and Puente Program) will focus on factors not
In exploring Northcentral University’s Academic Success Center, I determined several aspects and services to be particularly useful. These include Written Resources in the form of the various communities under the Academic Success Center, the Tiers of Service feature, and the Coaching offerings.
The ASCA National Model breaks down delivery through two types of student services: direct and indirect. According to the ASCA National Model (2012), “Direct student services are in-person interactions between school counselors and students” (p. 83). Direct services are delivered through three elements: school counseling core curriculum (instructions and group activities); individual student planning (appraisal and advisement); and responsive services (counseling and crisis response) (ASCA, 2012).
If college counseling is to help students with college and this counseling would be better to
High school counselors advise students on an assortment of topics. Counselors help from advising students about colleges and requirements to helping students deal with social, behavioral and personal problems. School counselors do not always interact with students individually; they will also work with small groups of students or even an entire class, depending on the topic. According to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), high school is a time for students to transition into adulthood and the work of work, begin separating from their parents, and exploring and defining their independence. They need guidance in making concrete and compounded decisions. This is where school counselors come in to help these students guide them with information.
The comprehensive school counseling program is a program designed to provide all students with an equal opportunity to obtain their education. To be comprehensive, a school counseling program must be holistic, systemic, balanced, proactive, infused into the academic curriculum and reflective ( Dollarhide & Sagnik, 2012). Comprehensive school counseling programs are critical to students success. Each CSCP must be established based off of the schools mission. The CSCP must be well organized, comprehensive as well as systemically implemented. It is accountable through evaluations. The CSCP must also be reflective and infused into the academic curriculum. It is prevention and intervention focused. The focus of the CSCP is on the domains: academic development, social/personal development and career development. Academic development is the area of learning for the students. The career development is the area of learning to work- jobs to careers. The personal/social development is the area where the students learn to live and function daily.

When I initially found out that we would be required to make an appointment for a success consultation, I was not expecting the experience to be helpful. After hearing that these meetings have been designed to help students improve their performance in their classes and enhance their study skills, among other things, I was convinced that this would be a cookie cutter experience for everyone. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this consultation would not be focused on the stereotypical study and success skills such as going to class and not procrastinating. Instead, it presented me with the opportunity to reflect on my overall success throughout my college career thus far, and gave me the opportunity to set long term and short
Learning Resources Center and Its Services There are many people that graduated from Cypress College with excellent grade because they have used the services of the Learning Resources Center (LRC). The LRC divided into many small different sections such as Learning Success Center (LSC), Math Success Center (MSC), and the computer lab center to help students with their different need in study. First center is the learning success center. This place calls a learning success center because it has some strategies that can help students realize and practice their study habit.
Every 26 seconds one of our kids drops out of high school, that's 1.3 million students each year. The main reason for dropping out, the failure to succeed.

Guidance counseling, also called school counseling, has evolved over the years into an important part of the education system. Counselors are now taking on new roles in schools as leaders so much so that the ways in which counseling is being implemented has become a much talked about topic in schools. The effectiveness of counseling in schools is looked at by the education system more frequently than it was in the past. Though all school counselors must follow a national model for counseling, the roles and functions of counselors at various levels in the school system are different, however, school counselors at all levels of education before college are generally effective despite implications.
