learning in the classroom/school and were designed around the Academic Content Standards and
American School Counselor Association standards. Teachers signed-up for classroom guidance units based

Summary
This report is designed to highlight some of the school counseling services provided at Hiawatha
Elementary School. This, by no means, is a complete look at the school counselor responsibilities and
overall work load.
Based on the data presented in this report, Hiawatha had a wide range of counseling services available. In
fact, 100% of students worked with Mrs. Rex. Approximately 70% were seen in individual and small
group settings (variance of frequency). The remaining students were seen during classroom lessons.
During the 2010-2011 school year, these numbers should be similar, ensuring that all students have access
to school counseling resources at Hiawatha.
