Smithville Primary
School Counseling Internship
Thank You!
Unfortunately it went way too fast and here I am writing you a week after my last day. A couple of reasons I wanted to write to you was to let you know what I was able to accomplish while I was an intern. You can see some of the things I did listed below. Most of these services were done while Rae was busy doing guidance lessons. I also wanted to list a few things to have in your back pocket as you move forward to the future.

MSIP 5 & GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING
Staff ratios for guidance and counseling are a part of the resource standards. The standard for guidance and counseling has been established at 1-500 ratio, K-12. However, the recommended ratio is 1-250. This is a reduction of 100 students from MSIP 4 which came as a result of the solid body of evidence that has built up over the years that demonstrates the positive impact on student achievement in schools with lower ratios. Guidance and Counseling Research School counselors can make a positive difference when provided the resources and time to work with students.
