As a school counselor, my mission is to:
- provide a comprehensive program that fosters the academic, career development, and social & emotional needs of all students.
- implement interventions to help students with their skills, knowledge, and attitude toward improving personal gains in behavior, academic achievement, and attendance.
- focus on the systems in which children live & learn and sustain collaborative partnerships with our school staff, parents, guardians, and surrounding communities.
- follow the American School Counseling Association's mindsets and behaviors that aid in student success for lifelong learning.
Knowing the Difference between Being Mean, Conflict, and Bullying
Acting Mean
This can be how a person feels on a particular day, not an everyday thing. These feelings usually are not targeted at specific individuals, but feelings can be hurt in the process.
Conflict
This happens when individuals have a disagreement with others. this can be over something they have done or said, and both sides play an equal role.
- Can be remorseful
- Happens occasionally
- Equal emotional reaction
- Not seeking power or attention
- Effort made to solve the problem
Bullying
This is unfair and one-sided. It happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose.
- Repeated hurtful actions
- Seeking power and control
- Trying to gain material items
- No remorse - blames others
- No effort to solve the problem
- Imbalance of power - not friends
