K8 Counseling Program

Eagleville School offers a wide variety of counseling services that follow the American School Counseling Association's national model. Our framework consists of the following four components: define, manage, deliver, and assess.

  • Define

Your K8 Counselor follows both student and professional standards that support the development and implementation of our program.

  • Manage

We focus our helping role through both a vision and mission statement. These beliefs were created by a team of WCS Elementary School Counselors as follows:

Vision: The vision of the K8 Eagleville School Counseling Program is to support the talent and character development of all students as they excel in academics, the arts, and athletics by shaping the climate of the school and the greater community.

Mission: Eagleville K8 Counselor will achieve its vision by providing exemplary programming which maximizes student development in the areas of academic, career, and personal/social growth.

  • Deliver

Your Eagleville K8 School Counselor will deliver both direct and indirect services through our school counseling curriculum instruction, consultation, collaboration, and counseling services.

  • Assess

With the support of our Advisory Council, we strive to assess both our effectiveness and the contributions we make to all our student’s development throughout their elementary school years.

K8 Eagleville Counselor will facilitate LifeSkills lessons in the Related Arts rotation. By following the Rutherford County Schools Scope and Sequence, we teach developmentally appropriate lessons to all K-5 students. Topics focus on areas of personal/social development, academic success, and career introduction. The idea of being a “bucket filler” (originally from Don Clifton) grounds all of our classroom guidance lessons.

DIRECT SERVICES: Counselors are available to help students both individually and in a small group setting.

  • Individual Counseling: All students are free to talk with one of the School Counselors about personal concerns they may have. Students may be referred by teachers, parents, or a self-referral form provided by the counselors.
  • Small Group Counseling: Small groups are organized to help students meet certain challenges they may be facing. These groups give students the opportunity to come together with like peers to acquire specific skills in a confidential setting. Examples of small groups include:
    • empowerment groups to help children build confidence
    • anger management groups to help students learn how to deal with anger
    • grief groups to help children cope with the death of a loved one
    • changing family groups to help children adjust to transitions from divorce, remarriage, and/or step-families

Please contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Callie Hughes if you feel your child could benefit from a small group setting.  

INDIRECT SERVICES: Mrs. Callie Hughes provides consultation and collaboration to our school family in the following ways:

  • 504 Facilitation
  • Community Outreach
  • Parenting Education Consultations and Workshops
