SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND STUDENT VIOLENCE
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND STUDENT VIOLENCE
Although student school shootings of students have recently gained significant national attention, more routine forms of student violence (e.g., homicide, rape, aggravated assault, etc.) continue to plague our nation’s schools and streets. These less sensational but equally harmful violent behaviors warrant appropriate response. What are the high risk factors to consider in assessing potentially violent and violent students? I would appreciate a brief summary of the high risk factors to consider when assessing whether a student is potentially violent. Are there specific guidelines to follow? Describe briefly the importance of assessment and diagnosis with potentially violent and violent students. Do you know of some good sources to recommend on this topic?

PEER HELPING PROGRAM
Suppose you are a counselor working in a middle school attended by a high number of new students from military families. In the cafeteria during lunch, you observe tension between the new students and students whose parents have permanent ties to the community. Some of the new students are isolating themselves by eating alone. You are aware that some of the students sitting in isolation have parents who have been deployed to the war. As one of only two school counselors in the building, you know it is going to be impossible to call all of the new students into your office and meet with them individually. Greg, an outgoing eighth-grade student with many friends from several social groups, seems to be making an attempt to bring some of the newer students together with his lunch group. Recognizing that school counselors provide leadership to develop leadership among students, you begin to think about peer helper programs. As a school counselor, where do you begin to develop a peer helping program? What stakeholders would you want to involve or consult with in developing the program? How could Greg fit into your program? Locate and provide and at least two helpful resources for counseling students from military families
