Counselor Connection

Alexandria Educational Center Counseling Program

1. 85% of students who transition to a normative school environment within Campbell County Schools will remain in that setting for at least a six month period.
2. Counselors will spend 80% or more of their time in direct and indirect service to students.
3. Counselors will conduct monthly staff training on trauma-informed approaches, in an effort to decrease student discipline reports by 10% as compared to both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school year.

At the Alexandria Educational Center the counselors partner with students, parents, school staff, traditional schools, and the community to remove barriers that previously prevented students from succeeding in a traditional school environment. The counselors empower students by assisting them in developing the skills to succeed in a traditional school environment, as well as become productive citizens and lifelong learners.

The Counselors at Alexandria Educational Center believe that:

• All students can be successful
• All students have significance and self-worth
• The counselors are leaders, advocates, and collaborators in providing the best opportunities for growth and success for every student
• The counseling program is tailored to meet students’ individual needs
• The counseling program serves a central role in meeting students’ needs through individual and group counseling which address the academic, career, and personal/social domains
• The American School Counselor Association's ethical standards guide the work of the counselors and Counseling Program.

The students at the Alexandria Educational Center will complete the Program well-prepared to succeed in a traditional school environment or the post-secondary/career pursuit of their choice. Also, the Alexandria Educational Center Counseling Program will foster the success of students through:
