Transition Counselor
I transition students back into the community through school contacts.
I prepare school information for the Transition Multi-Disciplinary Meetings which includes credits by age, credits by grade, current grades, behavior, regular ed. or special ed., home high school, recommendation for school, school contact person, and appointment time with school personnel upon release. I contact school districts and find out the student's home high school. I find out if the student is on an expulsion order.
Here's the first step for college students
I would recommend working for a school district before working for the County Office of Education. You must have patience and understanding. You are working with students who haven't been successful in a regular school setting. Many of these students like to challenge authority figures.
"You should be an accountant or a teacher. My parents really didn't push me one way or another. I did take an accounting class to make my father happy. I realized it wasn't my cup of tea. My parents let me find my own niche in life. I guess I'm fortunate compared to others."
