Example: School Counselor meeting with a teacher who has been observing and supporting a student that is currently involved in a divorce. School counselor will meet with the teacher to evaluate that consultation process. The school counselor will process with the teacher to construct three on-going strategies to ensure the student's academic success. The school counselor will provide contact information if the teacher wishes to have a follow-up meeting.
