San Felipe Del Rio CISD
CTE Counselor
I provide guidance to students, parents, and staff regarding CTE courses, career pathways, and post-secondary planning.
Every day is different which keeps me from getting bored, but I spend quite a bit of time on the following tasks: helping students select courses, reviewing CTE course offerings and making decisions on whether or not to expand options, collaborating with the local community college on dual credit course offerings and submitting the students' requirements and rosters, reviewing and submitting data to the state regarding our programs and their effectiveness, offering tours of CTE, etc.
Here's the first step for college students
There are always opening in Education, but it is helpful to have some experience in the classroom prior to interviewing. You can achieve this by substituting or working as a Teacher's Aide before completing your degree. Too be better prepared for Counseling, I would again recommend the Texas OnCourse Academy to help you become familiar with the many topics Counselors assist students with.
