We are collecting lesson plans that will assist counselors, career specialists, and teachers to implement counseling and guidance components of personal/social development, academic achievement, career development, and community involvement. Sample lesson plans are available below and can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF) and Microsoft Word (Word Doc).

We are coding all lesson plans to the student standards/competencies listed in Florida's School Counseling and Guidance Framework.
