John B. Connally Middle School Counseling and Guidance Department believes in fostering a community of lifetime learners. In partnership with parents, teachers, administration, and the community, counselors work with students to achieve educational, career, personal, and social development for students.

THE FOUR SKILL GOALS OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING

Throughout the school year, the counselors focus on delivering lessons and activities that focus on four skill goals: Interpersonal Effectiveness, Post-secondary Planning and Career Readiness, Intrapersonal Effectiveness, and Personal Health and Safety. These are skills that focus on topics dealing with self-esteem and responsible behavior. They include helping to develop a positive self-concept, self-improvement, managing the demands of school, your social life, and family, and taking responsibility for your actions. These lesson are delivered through core classes to make sure all students are included in the lesson.
