For this assignment, learners will review the case studies presented in each school in the Blooming Park: Delivery Systems Case Studies activity. Utilizing the course reading materials and the scholarly literature to explore and examine the range of service delivery systems available to school counselors, learners will present an appropriate plan to address the presenting concern.
A strong assignment submission will demonstrate an understanding of the various systems and how a school counselor utilizes those systems to support student success. Utilize the following “menu” of services to support your work on this assignment:
Direct Student Services.
School counseling core curriculum, such as classroom lessons.
Individual student planning, such as appraisal or advising.
Responsive services, such as individual counseling, group counseling, or crisis counseling.
Indirect Student Services.
Referral to other providers, both internal and external to the school.
Consultation.
Collaboration.
Part 1: Intervention and Referral Services
Learners will provide an introduction that examines the range of service delivery systems services, including individual counseling, group counseling, peer mediation, individual student planning/career counseling, consultation with the teacher and school counseling core curriculum.
This section is not specific to the cases but should be a concise overview of the services listed in the menu above.
Part 2: Case Studies
Analyze each case study presented in the Blooming Park simulation as if you were the counselor assigned to work with the student. Include the following information:
Summarize the student, including demographics and developmental information.
Assess the available information/data and identify the presenting concern(s).
Propose at least one delivery system service that would be appropriate for the case.
For each case, there is not necessarily a “right” or “wrong” answer; however, a learner must justify the selection of a system based on evidence from the literature.
