School counselors serve a supportive and important role in education, and this volume in the SEL Careers series (5 titles) not only helps children learn about their function in schools but introduces them to the mental health profession. The book’s three topical chapters feature a combination of easy-to-comprehend text and crisp photos of school counselors with elementary students. First, the author explains school counselors’ top priority—assisting students with both academic and social-emotional goals—as well as the education and licensing needed for the job. Next, the text describes typical duties, from giving students time-management tips to forming small-group support sessions, emphasizing school counselors’ empathy and listening skills. The final chapter looks at ways school counselors also work with teachers and families to advocate for students. Appended “Goals and Tools” further reader engagement.
