Extractions: Novi Meadows Elementary School Novi Meadows counselors contribute to the process of quality education by assisting students, staff and parents in matters related to the academic, social and emotional development of the student. It's late August, the first "official" day back for district teachers, and time for the counselors' annual meeting with children and their parents who are new to our school. After talking with the group about the students' classes, special subjects, the lunch schedule andother issues, parents and student volun- teers along with the counselors, escort them on a tour of Novi Meadows. With the start of school, since we are not involved in student scheduling, counselors are out in the halls assisting students with their locker combinations and helping to make their day run as smoothly as possible. We frequently meet with parents who have specific concerns about their children. Counselors are also busy informing teachers about needs of their new students. Within two weeks of the start of school, Newcomer counseling groups are formed for those students new to Novi. Through these groups, we hope to improve students' adjustment to school, build on peer relationship skills and help students learn more about their new school. As with all groups,parents are contacted to inform them of the meetings, and to allow for input. Additional Newcomer groups are held throughout the year, as new students arrive at Meadows. Another important activity is the formation of student/counselor orientation groups. Beginning with a short talk in the classroom about the counselor's role, small groups of students are then invited to visit the counseling office for a get acquainted session, as well as to talk about the mechanics of making a counseling appointment. (It is our goal to meet with every student during the school year inone-on-one counseling or in small groups.) Students learn that they may request a conference with a counselor at any time.

Simi Valley High School students do exceptionally well on nationally standardized tests such as the PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP, GSE. Pioneers who go on to college maintain a higher college GPA (grade point average) than most other high school graduates in our area. We believe this is due to our commitment to quality. We expect our students to do their homework with dedication, vigor and diligence. Students are expected to be organized, use their time wisely, and have good attendance in each class every day. If a question about classwork arises, please contact the student's teacher or counselor. We want to hear from you. We care and we will respond.

Guidance The general policy is that students should be moved only to improve their academic testing. The guidance staff is in charge of standardized testing at Cobb. http://www.cobb.leon.k12.fl.us/staff/guidance.html
Extractions: Guidance Department Counseling Cobb offers both individual, parent, and small group counseling sessions. Although individual counseling consumes the largest part of the counseling day, small groups are held dealing with divorce, death, academics, and other assorted problems. Individual counseling includes personal, social, academic, and vocational sessions. Students and parents are welcome anytime in the guidance office. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 488-3363 or E-mail-durrenceg@mail.cobb.leon.k 12.fl.us Scheduling After the master schedule has been determined, guidance is responsible for changing student placement. A schedule change may be initiated by a parent, teacher, or administrator. The general policy is that students should be moved only to improve their academic placement (regular to advanced class or advanced to regular class). Such changes depend on availability of space and class size. Changes in electives are not a high priority after the first week of school. Testing The guidance staff is in charge of standardized testing at Cobb. They also do individualized testing for screening purposes. Test interpretation and analysis are available for parents and other qualified personnel.
Extractions: OCR's Testing (Mis)Guidance: Anti-Education, Anti-Civil Rights Roger Clegg * The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") has decided to wade into the controversy surrounding the use of standardized tests in primary, secondary, and higher education. In the spring last year, OCR began circulating "draft guidelines" on "Nondiscrimination in High-Stakes Testing." The draft was leaked, apparently by disgruntled college admission officers, to The Chronicle of Higher Education, which put the guidelines on its website. Much controversy ensued, culminating in OCR head Norma Cantu being brought in to testify before the House Education and Workforce Committee in July. Cantu protested that the draft was just preliminary and promised that future drafts would be more widely shared. In December, a revised version — still just a draft — was released, with a considerably longer text and title: "The Use of Tests When Making High-Stakes Decisions for Students: A Resource Guide for Educators and Policymakers." The guidelines, which challenge the use of standardized tests when they have a "disparate impact" on racial or ethnic groups, remain deeply and fundamentally flawed, however.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Personnel Services Ann Arbor MI. Action-Oriented Research: Promoting School Counselor Advocacy and Accountability. ERIC Digest. Many misunderstandings regarding the school counselor and research exist. These common myths seem to cause road blocks which impede the initiation of school counseling research. School counselors may believe that they do not have the knowledge and skills required to do research. School counselors fear engaging their time and efforts in research activities which they do not consider as a job priority. A general lack of support, both in funding and administrative encouragement, for school-based counseling research has persisted for many years. Rewards, both intrinsic and extrinsic, for doing school counseling research have not been apparent; therefore school counselors continue to respond: "Why do research?" ACTION-ORIENTED RESEARCH Action-oriented research is very versatile. Both qualitative and quantitative assessment may be used in conducting action-oriented research studies. Survey and experimental designs may be used. Methods may include, but are not limited to, behavioral observations, needs assessments, rating scales, and student portfolios. Action-oriented research focuses on immediate application, instead of the development of theory or general application. Results, usually applicable to the local school situation, may be published in counselor journals. Action-oriented research is appropriate for assessing student-based outcomes and evaluating the effectiveness of school counseling programs.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Preparing Your Child For College: 2000 Edition What can my child do to prepare academically for college? To prepare for college, there is no substitute for your child getting a solid and broad academic education. This means your child should take challenging courses in academic subjects and maintain good grades in high school. Your child's transcript will be an important part of his or her college application. A college education builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier years. It is best for your child to start planning a high school course schedule early, in the seventh or eighth grade. Research shows that students who complete algebra and geometry by the end of ninth grade are more likely to go to college than those who do not. By taking these courses early, students are then prepared to take geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and science courses in high school. Most selective colleges (those with the highest admissions requirements) prefer to admit students who have taken courses in certain subject areas. For example, many colleges prefer that high school students have taken challenging science courses and mathematics courses beyond general math and algebra. Basic computer skills are now essential, and some colleges prefer three or four years of a foreign language. Your child's guidance counselor can help your child determine the high school courses required or preferred by different types of colleges. If your child is interested in specific colleges, he or she can contact those schools and ask about their admissions requirements.
