The High School Counselor and Career Education: Roles, Ideas for Counselors, Strategies, Approaches.

This paper concentrates on three main points: (1) sharing counselor experiences with other counselors; (2) stimulating professional thought and action of counselors not involved in career education; and (3) emphasizing the crucial roles counselors can play in career education if they choose. The author's belief is that the ideas and suggestions offered can be used to strengthen the role of counselors and enhance the effectiveness with which they function. Another salient aspect of the counselor's efforts in career education is that it moves to one of active involvement with teachers, parents and community. Counselors then find that through career education, they can share the counseling process with many people. (Author/VG)
