Elementary school counselors perform a variety of services which include classroom guidance lessons, acting as a liaison between general education and special education, providing crisis intervention, and meeting with families. School counselors facilitate collaboration with the principal, parents, teachers, and outside resources which allows them to focus on a student’s social-emotional growth and how this affects academic performance.
