As school counselors we believe it is important to do the following:
Advocate for students striving to meet the challenges and demands of the international school system. An important part of this advocacy involves preparing students for transitions that take place regularly in their lives.
Work as a team to bring attention to situations that create barriers to the students.
Continue training and professional development, individually and as a team, ensuring that we provide the best services for our students and the school. We collaborate with other international school counselors and take part in regular meetings of the Chiang Mai International School Counselors’ Association.
Collaborate with teachers to review data identifying patterns of achievement and behaviors affecting student success.
Form strong partnerships with parents/guardians as we guide students to achieve their goals.
Facilitate individual and small-group guidance.
Coordinate with the Student Support Department and Health Office to offer a full range of services to students and identify different needs.
