Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
Locate a set of standards that relate to the arts or aesthetic learning. Read them through and select one or two that apply to a particular early childhood age group.

Students observe and discuss how dance is different from other forms of human movement (such as sports, everyday gestures)
Students take an active role in a class discussion about interpretations of and reactions to a dance

The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily
Part OneRole of the School Counselor in Promoting College and Career ReadinessCurry and Milsom (2017) define college readiness as the disposition and mindset that enables a student to understand the structure and culture of postsecondary education and hence, to successfully navigate the challenges of college.

The research of Wofendale (1991) demonstrated the effectiveness of parents who provided support for the learning process of their child and holds that involvement in schools by parents is likely the primary indicator of performance of the child in school. The Michigan Department of Education reports that the "most consistent predictors of children's academic achievement and social adjustment are parent expectations of the child's academic attainment and satisfaction with
