Essential Skills for International School Counselors
presented in London 26-30 June 2008

To be  a counselor in an international school requires some unique skills and sensitivities.  The counselor is often relied upon for so much more than a traditional program may have provided the training for. This course explores these skills and provides a practical approach to running an effective counseling program for an international school community.  Through collaborative activities, simulations, and other active participation strategies, participants will explore and practices skill related to:
  • The role of the international school counselor: the idea and the reality
  • 'Transitions': helping students, parents and teachers cope with change
  • 'Kid culture': identifying the culture in a school and affective programs that can either support or change the culture
  • Ethical dilemmas: exploring case studies
  • Counselor as communicator: presentations and publications
  • Academic planning: including break out sessions for elementary and middle/high school counseling

Participants will share strategies, programs, presentations and publications. By the end of the course, all participants will have examined their school's counseling program and will have developed a plan for support and improvement.
