Counseling Program Components
A guidance and counseling program is a comprehensive developmental program addressing the whole child to maximize achievement, social and emotional development, and post-secondary college and career readiness.
The program consists of the following 4 program components.
Guidance
The Guidance Curriculum component includes skill based lessons designed to help all students develop competence in essential life skills. Guidance lessons are based on student need. Some of the Reddix's guidance topics may include; drug awareness, friendships, healthy relationships, self advocacy, and transition.
Responsive Services
The purpose of Responsive Services is to intervene with or on behalf of a child whose personal circumstances, concerns, or problems are threatening and interfere with healthy career, educational, social, and/or personal development. Responsive Services includes both individual and small group counseling.
Individual Planning guides students in planning, monitoring, and managing their own career, educational, social, and personal growth. Individual Planning is achieved by assisting students in setting their own goals.
The System Support component describes the management of activities which assure the delivery of a high quality guidance program. This component indirectly services our students. System Support includes research development, outreach, and professional development.
Trainee of the Month
Trainee of the Month is our campus initiative that fosters positive school climate through the Pillars of Character. The Pillars of Character are: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, & Citizenship. Each six weeks a character trait will be highlighted. This 6 weeks teachers elected a student from their class who best displayed the character trait trustworthiness.
To be trustworthy is to be honest, reliable, loyal, and has the courage to do the right thing.
Students were recognized at our Trainee of the Month assembly on the morning of Wednesday, October 11th in the dining room.
