School Counselor vs. Guidance CounselorI came across this article a few weeks ago and feel it is really worth sharing.
Since beginning the School Counseling program, it has been ingrained in my brain, from day 1, that the proper, up-to-date title for my future role in a school is to be School Counselor. I cringe a little each time I hear the term guidance counselor. I think to myself, that's not what I'm going to be called! I'm going to be a School Counselor. My name tag will read "School Counselor." I'm in a School Counseling program. Our professional organization is the American School Counselor Association. I knew from the very first day of class in my Intro to School Counseling course that it would be a tough road ahead for the guidance vs. school debate.
Dr. Isom writes a great article to further explain the school counselor vs. guidance counselor difference.
