School Counseling Mission Statement
Cedar Rapids Community School District
The Cedar Rapids Community School District (CRCSD) provides a
comprehensive school counseling program that is developmental,
proactive, preventative, and systemic in nature. It is sequential,
clearly defined, accountable, and integral to the educational program of
the district. It assists students in acquiring and using life-long
learning skills. The school counseling program employs strategies to
enhance academic development, provide career awareness and employment
readiness, and encourages self-awareness and interpersonal communication
skills. The purpose of the program is to impart life success skill to
ALL students. The counseling program strives to meet the National
Standards of the American School Counseling Association, which
categorizes the counseling responsibilities into three focus areas: academic, career and personal/social. Students’
development in these areas is fostered through six delivery systems:
consulting, counselor programming, responsive services, student
planning, program management and advocacy.
