My name is Teresa Aeilts, and I have been the School Counselor in District 27 since 2003. I have changed a few things as the school counselor over the years, such as implementing a Comprehensive School Guidance Program in our buildings grades Kindergarten to 5th grade.
The School Guidance Program in District 27 is designed to be proactive and preventative in nature.
As the School Counselor, I travel to each building and service the students that are in our school district, these services include daily Classroom Guidance lessons, small groups, and one-on-one counseling for specific needs.
In the classroom is where I spend the majority of my time. I am so fortunate to be able to meet and build relationships with every student K-5.
Classroom lessons are social skills, skills that aid in communication, caring about others, respect and responsibility. It's a great time and I enjoy this special part of my day.
Small groups consist of 2-5 students with a similar goal. We will meet up to 6 times for approx. 30 minutes. Usually these groups are formed based on needs that are identified by teachers.
One-on-one counseling includes myself and a student meeting together once a week. It may only occur once or up to 6 times. If further counseling is necessary that may be discussed with myself and the parent/guardian.
One-on-one counseling can begin once a referral is made, either by the parent/guardian, teacher, Prinicpal, or other concerned adult.. I will send home a parent permission slip should a student be seen consistently.
I am very blessed and honored to be working in such a great community of teachers, staff, students, and parents.
