Every student deserves
sound academic, career,
and social-emotional
guidance.
Let’s start by reviewing the School Counseling Impact Pyramid. RSC is based on the premise that school counselors impact (click) student achievement by helping students make (click) sound choices in areas that impact achievement such as choosing to come to school, choosing to enroll in rigorous courses, and choosing to complete homework. Counselors help students make sound choices by (click) providing guidance lessons in the areas of academic, career and personal-social development, and (click) providing counseling for students who have a person or social problem that is interfering with learning.
