Ms. Sheffield’s School Counseling Philosophy: 

Elementary school is a crucially fundamental time for children to grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. The methods used in my school counseling program are beneficial to so many life skills such as: 

  • communication skills.  

  • decision-making skills

  • self-regulation skills

  • team-building skills

  • a positive self-image

  • an optimistic outlook for the future

  • goal-setting 

  • an awareness of their unique gifts, characteristics, and needs

  • and a desire to learn and achieve academically.
