Elizabeth Burianek Washington High Student Bod George Novak Alice Anderson The primary aim of the guidance pro- gram is to utilize and develop special services designed to further the learning of the indivi- dual to the maximum degree of his interest, usefulness and ability. Counselors have a number of functions: orientationg testing programg record-keepingg job placementg information services on the student himself, on careers, on further educa- tion and trainingg evaluation and follow-upg and counseling. Most of these services are selilexplana- tory. Counseling, to which the most time is given, may be clarified in this way: counseling assists the student in becoming increasingly self-directive and self-reliant. The counselor tries to help the student take the following steps: ill to define or recognize the task, choice problem with which he is facedg 123 to study various ways of dealing with it: Q33 to plan a course of action and C41 to evaluate the results of the action.
