In our efforts to create school cultures where students focus on preparing for college or careers, school counselors must embrace the power of their unique position. The perspective of the school counselor—which evolves as students learn, plan, change, and grow—can deeply affect the opportunities of the students they serve. Jennifer Smith, a former teacher, principal, and central office administrator, makes the case that school counselors are especially well suited to shape and lead conversations to advance the agenda of college and career readiness for all.
