The Columbia School District believes that the guidance program
is an essential and integral part of the overall education process.
Since emotional, social, and intellectual development is an ongoing
integrated process, the guidance program must address the issue of
total development from preschool to young adulthood. Growth and
learning are developmental with students' needs varying at
progressive states; therefore, an effective guidance program must
provide structured sequential activities to address those needs. A developmental guidance program focuses on all students. While
the counselor continues to respond to the unique needs of the
individual, all students benefit from experiential activities that
enhance their knowledge and skills in career planning and
exploration, in self-awareness and interpersonal relationships, and
in educational/vocational development. Proficiency in these areas
serves to improve students' self-concept, fosters better peer and
adult interactions, and lends students a sense of purpose and
direction in more effectively planning and controlling their own
lives. Such enhanced competencies result in students who are
prepared to cope with life's decisions and to manage human
relationships. Thus, the comprehensive guidance program is
preventative as well as remedial in nature.
