The office at my previous job was significantly smaller than that of my current position. I have been lucky enough to have been given an office space for individual counseling, group counseling, and a classroom to hold my classroom counseling lessons. My office also contains the school supply closet, as well as another extra office space for our students school store and PBIS rewards. This is a significant amount of space that I was not prepared to fill. I want to make sure my space both calming and organized. Lighting, aromatherapy, and a comfortable rug gives students an environment that is conducive to learning and practicing self-regulating strategies and copying skills. As a school counselor, my job is to educate students in the areas of social/emotional, academics, and career exploration. Like teachers, this takes a great deal of supplies. It is important to have the proper tools during my classroom lesson and counseling groups.
