Department of Staff Development Phone: 547-0914 E-mail: StaffDevelopment@cpschools.com Joyce E. Dugan, Supervisor of Guidance and Family Life Dalphine Joppy, Director of Staff Development Amie Seigle, Staff Development Administrator Alveria Coles, Staff Development Specialist Dr. James T. Roberts, Superintendent Our mission as professional school counselors is to provide a comprehensive, standard-based counseling program designed to promote the formation of productive and responsible citizens by assisting all students to develop academic, career, and personal/social competencies. Effective school counseling programs are a collaborative effort between the professional school counselor, parents, teachers, administrators, and the greater community to create an environment that promotes student achievement. A comprehensive school counseling program connects school counseling with current educational reform initiatives that emphasize student achievement and success. Professional school counselors value and respond to the diversity and individual differences in our societies and communities. Comprehensive school counseling programs ensure equitable access for all students to participate fully in the educational process and to be productive members in a global and diverse society.
