DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Incumbents in this class are expected to work independently under the general supervision of a secondary school administrator. Incumbents provide support to students to resolve all but the most complex school guidance and personal problems which are resolved by certificated counseling staff. Additional duties include scheduling, monitoring, reviewing and tracking students' academic, attendance and behavioral status. They are expected to work with students, school staff and parents to resolve academic, attendance and behavioral problems and to ensure students' high school academic program meets graduation requirements.
The class of Guidance Technician II is distinguished from the class of Guidance Assistant in that the latter focuses primarily on assisting "at-risk" students with improving their personal, social, and other non-academic skills. Guidance Assistant incumbents work with parents and school staff to improve the attendance and academic performance of the student through the improvement of their social skills.
The class of Guidance Technician II is distinguished from the class of Guidance Technician I in that former is expected to work independently and with little supervision from a supervisor. Guidance Technician I's are responsible for scheduling, monitoring, reviewing and tracking academic progress of students and assisting professional guidance personnel.
The class of Guidance Technician II is distinguished from certificated counselors in that while the former provides program, schedule and other guidance related information, assistance and advice to students, it is only the certificated counselor who is qualified to provide professional counseling services to students.
