National School Counseling Week
Statement by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Recognizing National School Counseling Week, Feb. 4-8, 2015
U.S.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued the following statement today,
recognizing National School Counseling Week, Feb. 4-8, 2013.
Every
day, caring and dedicated professionals across this country engage in the often
unrecognized work of school counseling. This week in particular, I want to
recognize these trained educators, who help millions of young people sidestep
the roadblocks of life and circumstance to become successful students and,
ultimately, reach their full potential.
The
role of school counselors is growing increasingly demanding and it continues to
change. Not only are counselors charged with finding innovative and effective
ways to provide students with academic and career guidance, counselors also are
called upon to help support students’ social and emotional wellbeing, which is
essential for them to thrive. Particularly in light of recent traumatic events
in schools, including the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, this role is more
important than ever to create and maintain a healthy school climate and ensure
that students feel safe and supported as they learn and grow.
Increasingly,
counselors are working in new ways – embracing the importance of data on
graduation rates, FAFSA completion, and college enrollment rates to better
prepare students to access and persist in higher education. It is this type of
work that will help our nation to reach the President’s goal of leading the
world in college graduates by 2020.
Last
week, I met with counselors who have been honored as finalists in the School
Counselor of the Year Award program. These finalists remind us of the
extraordinary work that is being led by counselors across the country to
address the needs of the whole child.
By
collaborating with students, staff, parents and the community, counselors are
finding better ways to support children and help their families to access vital
academic, mental health and social services. For these efforts, we salute them.
