Welcome to the practitioner resources web pages of the Professional School Counseling Program at Minnesota State University, Mankato! The resources which follow are intended to provide professional school counselors in the field with sample guidance lessons, needs assessment templates, and related resources for modification and use as are most relevant in each particular school district. Efforts have been made to include resources for rural, suburban, and urban school settings at the elementary, middle, and secondary school levels.
The work you will see posted is the product of the students in the Professional School Counseling Program at MSU Mankato. Feel free to print what you need--that is the reason this site exists! Most of the downloads are in pdf format and should go directly to your computer desktop.
The MSU Professional School Counseling Program is indebted to the hard work of graduate assistants Jennifer Hemmesch, whose diligent efforts during her tenure with the program (2000-2002) was responsible for Phase 1 of this resource, and to Debra Mathison (2003-2004) who worked tirelessly to get Phase 2 up running by the conclusion of the 2004 academic year. Deanna Goddard (2004-2005) was responsible for the Phase 3 update in the spring of 2006. Toni Schulz, Katie Ryans Marten, and Oleksandr “Sasha” Komarenko are responsible for the programming and formatting of the updated and reconfigured site during 2008-2009. The creation, formatting, and uploading of these resources have taken hundreds of hours of student time. Were it not for their hard work, these resources would not be available for practitioners.
Contact Dr. Walter Roberts, Jr., coordinator of the Resources for the Professional School Counseling Practitioner website if you have questions or suggestions.
Thank you for visiting this site. We hope it proves helpful in providing additional resources for the children and families of your district!
