Last October, during the White House Conference on School Safety, President Clinton joined the U.S Conference of mayors in calling for more counselors in our nation's schools. "[W]e need to let [taxpayers] know that a well-trained counselor dealing with the kind of challenges these children face is a terrific investment."
Everyday, school counselors address the needs -- the personal, social, academic, and career needs -- of students. It's more than appropriate that we take some time out each year to recognize the contributions that counselors make to our schools and our students, so this week -- National School Counseling Week -- Education World dedicates our issue to stories related to school counseling.
In addition, we encourage our readers to visit https://www.schoolcounselor.org/, the Web site of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), sponsors of National School Counseling Week. ASCA's Web site offers many great resources for this special week, including suggestions from counselors of 40 ways schools might celebrate National School Counseling Week.
This week, start off your school week with a big "thank you" to your school's counselor(s). Then check out a handful of the stories Education World offers in this special issue:
