Academic philosophy
The School Counseling Program at Lewis & Clark is competency-based, preparing candidates to deliver comprehensive school counseling programs based on the American School Counseling Association National Model. Candidates develop close relationships with counselor-practitioners and faculty while learning to promote student, school, and community collaboration through resiliency and asset-based leadership and advocacy. As professional leaders, school counselors recognize education as a community endeavor requiring the best collaborative efforts of students, educators, and community members.
The School Counseling Program continually reviews and improves course offerings to reflect the changing expectations occurring at local, regional, and national levels while maintaining academic and philosophical integrity.
