Counseling

The purpose of QSI Shenzhen’s School Counseling Department is to maximize student success by attending to each student’s social and emotional needs. School counselors are uniquely trained to support students in an academic setting as vital members of the school leadership team. Our role as school counselors is to support QSI’s mission of “Success for All” by designing and delivering a comprehensive program that helps to increase positive student outcomes.

Each of QSI Shenzhen’s three campuses has a dedicated School Counselor whose primary duties are to:

• Advocate for students.
• Provide individual student academic planning and goal setting.
• Facilitate classroom lessons based on QSI Success Orientations or SOs
• Provide short-term solution-focused brief counseling to students.
• Provide outside counselor/therapy referrals for long-term student support.
• Collaborate with families, teachers, Directors of Instruction, and/or the community for student success.
• Attend student-focused meetings with teachers, staff, parents and/or Directors of Instruction.
• Analyze data to identify student issues, needs, and challenges.

• Collect and analyze aggregated data to identify trends and guide program improvements.

• Support transition processes (e.g., new students, grade changes) to ease adjustment.

• Advocate for equitable access to counseling services and resource referrals.

• Participate in school-wide initiatives and committees focused on student success and well-being.
