The school counselor's role as coordinator involves managing various aspects of indirect services that help students succeed.

Counselors serve as a liaison between teachers, parents, support personnel, and community resources to facilitate successful school development.  This may include assisting parents in obtaining needed services for their children through a referral and follow-up process.  They also serve as liaisons between school and community resources.

School counselors, as coordinators:

• help identify resources needed by parents, students and teachers
• provide interpretation of standardized tests results
• facilitate the distribution of information pertinent to student needs
• assess students' needs

Coordination also includes orienting new students to the school and coordinating student transition to the next educational level.
