Colorful World of Counseling

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are amazing individuals. As a counselor, my task is to assist them in discovering their talents and resources. My biggest challenge is entertaining large classes during classroom guidance lessons. Having more resources to gather ideas from would help immensely.

I work at a Chicago Public School, in the Uptown neighborhood.

There are almost 500 students at my school, many of which are from under served populations. The students are polite, energized, and optimistic. However, many do not possess all of the emotional tools to fully succeed at life.

My Project

With counseling books, I will be able to formulate unique lessons for my groups, and hone in on counseling theories for specific issues. The office supplies are for my organization so that I have more time for counseling, and more money for student rewards.

My project will make a difference to my students because every little bit of attention to their emotional and social needs helps them.

Students age 8-14 attend my class (Social Emotional Learning) each week, eager to participate in new activities and learn more about themselves. By enriching myself with new material, students will benefit through my new unique activities.
