  • Counseling Program Mission Statement

    The mission of the Allen ISD School Counseling Program is to provide a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate program that addresses the academic, career, and social/emotional development of all students. AISD counselors are advocates who, in partnership with other stakeholders, provide support to maximize academic achievement and student potential.

    DeliverySystem 

    Counseling services are provided at Kerr in four ways:

    1. School Guidance Curriculum: classroom instruction, group activities, interdisciplinary curriculum
    2. Responsive Services: consultation, individual and small-group counseling, crisis counseling/response, referrals, peer facilitation 
      (Individual students and small groups of selected students for a variety of reasons such as behavioral concerns, attendance concerns, academic concerns, family/life changes, friendship issues, anxiety)
    3. Individual Student Planning: individual or small-group appraisal, individual or small-group advisement
    4. System Support: professional development, consultation, collaboration and teaming, program management and operation
