School counselors: which assessments do you recommend for assessing student learning styles?

Show me another question in this topic

education.com asks:

"I am a new school counselor and really want to work more with assessing students on their learning styles and then helping them with strategies--as well as the teachers. Do you recommend any assessments you use as a school counselor (vs a school psychologist--which we don't have)? Thanks!"

What the Expert Says:

I found numerous assessments on learning style through Google. However, the link below has been helpful in working with my students on learning styles.

If you would like resources for school counselors, I highly recommend two websites: American School Counselor Association and School counselor.com. Both websites have lesson plans you will find helpful. Le me know if you have nay other needs as a school counselor.

what are you more familier with? cause i am dealing with both at my daughters school and it seems to me that she is in the wrong field wich can effact a child . if your going to do psychologist make sure you look at all options not just an excusse to make your self look good or sound smart ( do your research on each behavier the child is having before assuming somethign wrong) . and as a counsler goes . really not that importent. to me it sounds like your already board with the pastion you already have. so you made you mind up already.. be true to your passion and make a diffarance to the wants that are in need and of causres make sure you know your new job before you take it... thats there life in ur heads, and the trust of parents..
