Oak Village Counseling Team
We work with the school faculty and staff, students, parents, and the communities to plan, implement, and evaluate the counseling program. Our program is designed to include:

1. a guidance curriculum to help students develop their full educational potential, including the student’s interest and career objectives;
2. a responsive services component to intervene on behalf of any student whose immediate personal concerns or problems put the student’s continued educational, career, personal, or social development at risk;
3. an individual planning system to guide a student as the student plan, monitors, and manage the student’s own educational, career, personal, and social development; and
4. system support to support the efforts of teachers, staff, parents, and other members of the community in promoting the educational, career, personal, and social development of students.
