Utah's College & Career Readiness Comprehensive School Counseling Program
South Cache Middle School has a counseling program that is comprehensive in scope, preventative in design and developmental in nature.
Comprehensive Counseling consists of the following four components:
Systemic Approach to Dropout Prevention with Social/Emotional Supports - The component consists of activities to meet students’ immediate needs. These needs may include individual counseling, group counseling, academic consultation, outside referrals, truancy mediation, conflict resolution, self-help information, etc.
The Plan for College & Career Readiness - This College and Career Readiness component consists of school counselors coordinating ongoing systemic activities designed to assist the individual student in establishing personal goals and developing future plans. At South Cache our students research careers, set goals for the future and start planning out their high school/college education. Students in the 8th grade meet individually with their counselor and parents to discuss these things. The 7th grade students meet in a small group setting with the counselors during their College & Career Awareness class. Students also get a great deal of information about future planning through their guidance curriculum lessons.
Collaborative Classroom Instruction - The purpose of the Collaborative Classroom Instruction component is to provide all students with the knowledge and skills appropriate for their developmental level. The curriculum covers information students need, but isn't taught in the traditional classroom. Here at South Cache we teach topics such as career exploration, high school graduation and college entry requirements, financial aid assistance, job applications, resumes, interviewing skills, team building, and more.
Administration of Program and Non-Counseling Activities - This system includes components consistent with professional development, program development, documentation, data collection and analysis, and fair share school responsibilities.
