1. Interviewing a school counselor is a great time to learn more
about the roles of a school counselor. Reading chapters and
articles are no comparison to speaking with a current school
counselor. You will have a chance to ask about what the school
counselor's views are on the school counseling profession.
Take this opportunity to observe the school if you have never

counselor doing a classroom guidance lesson then that would be
amazing! Something to consider is for those of you that have
not been teachers, it might be a good idea to do some substitute
teaching or volunteering to work in a school as a mentor or
school counselor helper. This will provide you with a chance to
get a feel of the school culture. You will not believe how

feel.
For your final project here are some tips:
-Use narrative form.
-You may use bullet points or sample schedule for Component 2
-Add any additional information that is helpful. You can add
your thoughts and any examples to add depth and breadth to the
material.
-Here is an example of an acceptable format for the final
project:
-Title page required for this assignment
Component I
When someone asks you how being a school counselor is
different from being a mental health counselor, a social worker,
or a school psychologist, what do you tell that person?
Use narrative of what the school counselor said. Add any
information that is helpful.

2. Please explain what counseling credential you have (e.g.,
license or certificate) and what the qualifications are for this in
your state. What examinations, if any, are required (e.g.,
Praxis)?
Use narrative of what the school counselor said. If you have
any additional comments or questions, put the information her
as well.
Continue with all the questions
OR You may simply write the responses of the school counselor
without including the questions such as:
The school counselor indicated she thought the difference
between the mental health fields was significant. Social
workers do more coordination of services while school
psychologists are employed by the schools for testing and
diagnosing ………….
She also indicated she received her master’s in school
counseling and needed certification from the Texas Board of
Education to qualify for a school counselor position. She took a
state test designed for school counselors and had at least three
years of experience as a teacher in the school setting.
Component II A Day in the Life of a School Counselor
Describe in a narrative, or bullet points/time line, what the
school counselors says are his or her typical duties (lunch,
morning or dismissal/bus duties). Make sure to address how the
school counselor works with students that drop into the office.
How does the school counselor address discipline or crisis
situations? Also, address the questions located on Blackboard.
You do not need to make up a pretend narrative of a day, but
what a schedule might look like of what to expect as a school
counselor.
Acceptable narrative format:

3. In the morning, the school counselor said she helps with bus
duty and also playground duty. She watches for any issues or
helps maintain safety of students. She typically has a morning
check in with students that involves watching for any unusual
behaviors or concerns and to help start the children’s day off
with encouraging words…..
OR You may simply write a sample schedule. Acceptable
Schedule format:
7:45-8:15 – bus and playground duty
8:15-8:40 – check in with students
8:45-9:15 – classroom guidance lessons
9:30-10:00 – small groups
Component III Reflection Describe in a narrative what are
your thoughts and feelings about what you learned from the
interview?
What do you think about the school counselor's
responsibilities? Do you agree with them or not?
What feeling did you get going to the school (if you went in
person)?
How has your view of the role of the school counselor
changed or not?
Be specific in your information. For example:
Not specific - I really liked how the school counselor
does her daily activities. It seemed to flow really well and
seemed to work great. She sees students for counseling and
does classroom guidance lessons. It really stood out to me.
The school setting had its own unique vibe, it was very
interesting. Teachers came in to talk to her while I was doing
my interview, and so did students. I will not forget what I saw.
*So what is this describing? Who knows? Does this mean
the school counselor is sitting in her office and not getting

4. bothered? We have no idea!Specific - I really liked how the
school counselor does her daily activities. She begins the day
with morning hall duty. This gives her a chance to let students
see her and it seems to help build relationships. She does
classroom guidance lessons three days a week and then sees
students in individual and small groups two days a week. I
think I would like this type of schedule. As I was talking to
her, I could see how she develops relationships easily. I was
impressed when I saw teachers and students stopping by her
office and saying hi. Her room was very warm and inviting and
had lots of materials for expressive arts, sand tray and play
therapy. She shared information and I really saw the kind of
school counselor I want to be. *Now we have more details and
I know what is being described! I can get a visual image of
what is written. This is called depth and breadth, adding in
extra information above the basic requirements.
If you noticed, you already have some built in subheadings.
Follow APA format!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Introduction to School Counseling
Final Project Overview:
The Role of a Professional School Counselor
Books, television, and movies are full of stories revealing the
day-to-day realities of various professions. These stories
provide a behind-the-scenes look at the often unknown stress,
joy, and effort involved in being a doctor, a law enforcement
agent, or even a chef. What do you think the day-to-day life of a
professional school counselor is like? What constitutes a typical
day for a school counselor, or is there no such thing? For the
Final Project in this course, you uncover the hidden realities of

5. the daily life of a professional school counselor.
The Final Project requires you to interview (in person) a
licensed or certified school counselor who works with the age
group that interests you. For example, if you are interested in
working as an elementary counselor, interview a school
counselor at this level. You then apply the information from this
course, as well as in an interview you conduct, to your
understanding of what it means to be a professional school
counselor.
Please note that it is not acceptable to interview a school social
worker, a school psychologist, a school-based mental health
counselor, or any other mental health provider for this
Assignment. Although the Final Project includes interview
material, this is not the only component of this Assignment.
Please make sure to review the full project description below.
The Final Project is a 7- to 10-page paper that consists of a
summation of an interview, a story, and a reflection.
Final Project Due Date
Day 7 of Week 10: Although the Final Project is not to be
submitted until Week 10, you should become familiar with the
project requirements and have them in mind as you proceed
through this course. The Final Project requires you to prepare
and complete your project throughout the course, including an
Assignment due in Week 6. A suggested time frame and tasks
for completing the project are at the end of this document.
Final Project Criteria
1. Using the Final Project Template located in the Week 10
resources, include all three project components explained below
in the Overview of Final Project Components section.

6. 2. Demonstrate both breadth and depth of knowledge and
critical thinking appropriate to graduate-level scholarship.
3. Follow APA Publication Manual guidelines; avoid
typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors; and adhere to
Walden’s Academic Integrity guidelines. (Information on
scholarly writing may be found in the APA Publication Manual
and at the Walden Writing Center website.)
4. The paper should be 7 to 10 pages in length (double-spaced),
not including the title and reference pages.
5. Support your points with specific references to the Learning
Resources from the course and the interview.
Final Project Grading
It is graded on a 135-point scale according to the specifications
identified in the Final Project Rubric.
Overview of Final Project Components
Component I: Narrative Summation of Interview
Your summation should be presented as a narrative rather than a
list of questions and answers. It is recommended that you
audiotape the interview so that you can review it as you
complete the Final Project.
For the interview, use the following questions. Several
questions relate to topics covered in this course in order for you
to gain an understanding of how the course topics apply to the
life of a school counselor. If a question is related to a weekly
topic, the week number is in parentheses after the question.
During the interview you may add additional questions of your
own that are prompted by the conversation:

7. 1. When someone asks you how being a school counselor is
different from being a mental health counselor, a social worker,
or a school psychologist, what do you tell that person? (Week 1)
2. Please explain what counseling credential you have (e.g.,
license or certificate) and what the qualifications are for this in
your state. What examinations, if any, are required (e.g.,
Praxis)?
3. Please describe what a typical day looks like for you as you
do your job? (Week 1)
4. What ethical and legal issues do you have to keep in mind
each day? (Week 5)
5. How does understanding and respecting multiculturalism help
you as a school counselor? (Week 4)
6. How do you use assessments to help you with your work as a
school counselor? (Week 9)
7. How do you partner with a student’s family and other
stakeholder when addressing a student’s issue? (Week 6)
8. Talk about your experiences with referring students to
outside mental health counseling. Do you have a protocol to
follow? (Week 7)
9. Does your school have a crisis plan for use in case of an
emergency? Talk about a time when you had to respond to a
critical situation in your school or district on either an
individual basis (e.g., death of a student or a student’s family
member, a house fire, etc.) or on a larger basis (e.g., community
crisis or natural disaster). (Week 8)

8. 10. What is the role of accountability for a school counselor? In
what ways are you accountable and how do you address that
accountability? (Week 9)
11. How have you engaged in advocacy (for students or for the
profession)? If so, what did that involve and how did it go?
(Week 6)
12. What do you do to maintain self-care and wellness? (Week
10)
13. What is your personal view about the future of the school
counseling profession? (Week 11)
14. What are the most significant personal development issues
you face as a school counselor? How have you addressed
personal and professional growth and development?
Component II: A Day in the Life of a Professional School
Counselor
Using the information from the interview, the course Learning
Resources, and course assignments, create the story of a day in
the life of the school counselor you interviewed. Embed in your
story the significant information from both the course and the
interview. Be specific, use examples, and include what you
believe to be the most significant topics, even if they might not
come up in a typical day. The purpose of this project component
is for you to demonstrate your understanding of what day-to-day
life is like for a school counselor, related to and referencing the
material in the course as well as information gleaned elsewhere.
It also is to demonstrate how a counselor might address/handle
issues and/or situations that are the most important and/or
challenging.
Component III: Reflection

9. In this section you reflect on what you have learned in both the
interview and the course regarding a balanced approach to the
professional duties and responsibilities of a school counselor
and about self-care. Describe how you see your future role as a
school counselor. In your reflection, respond to the questions
below. Your reflection should be presented as a narrative rather
than a listing of questions and answers.
1. What did you learn from the interview that you did not learn
in the course?
2. What, if anything, did you learn from the interview that
contrasted with what you learned in the course?
3. What do you understand better from the course as a result of
doing the interview?
4. What came to life in the interview so that the information you
gained in the course is more meaningful and relevant now?
5. What do you anticipate the impact of being a school
counselor may be on who you are personally?

Dear Stakeholders,
We are living through challenging times.
Global economic recovery has been slow and uneven. Geo-
political risk, previously con-
fined to the developing world, has also increased uncertainty in
the developed world.
In parallel, we are seeing a paradigm shift in both economic and
social terms as we ex-
perience a fourth industrial revolution, sweeping away old
assumptions and subjecting
us all - both as individuals and businesses - to a new intensity
of competition. Given the
current rhythm of change, sustainability has never been more

13. vital to us all. As we set
out in this report, sound sustainability policy and execution are
therefore top priorities
for Samsung.
First, as a major actor on the business scene worldwide,
Samsung is particularly aware
of its responsibility for showing strong leadership in the era of
the fourth industrial revo-
lution. We are acutely conscious of the need for ever-greater
focus on adding value and
ensuring synergies across all our activities, thus enabling us to
build the foundations for
future growth and tomorrow’s competitive edge. Indeed we will
relentlessly push for-
ward our R&D and open innovation efforts - be this in artificial
intelligence, big data, 5G,
high-performance semiconductors or any other area - because
only through continued
innovation and excellence can we be of service to society at
large.
Second, we fully endorse the UN Sustainable Development
Goals (UN SDGs) that aim
to achieve a balanced development of economy, society and
environment through busi-

14. ness’ engagement and value creation. Specifically, we are
establishing in-house poli-
cies to promote the circular economy and hone our supply-chain
management. Both of
these initiatives will favorably influence our operations going
forward and hence boost
our contribution to key public policy priorities. We are also
stepping up our corporate
citizenship programs. In April 2017, we established the
Governance Committee on

15. Change
Change is constant and
innovation is critical to the
company’s survival.
Excellence
The entirety of our endeavors
at Samsung is driven by an
unyielding passion for ex-
cellence and an unfaltering
commitment to develop the
best possible products and
services in the market.
Integrity
Operating in an ethical man-
ner is the foundation of our
business. The sum of our
every action is guided by a
moral compass that ensures
fairness, respect for all stake-
holders and complete trans-
parency.
Co-prosperity
Our business cannot be
successful unless it creates
prosperity and opportunity
for people in every local and
global community in which
we operate.

16. Management Philosophy
At Samsung Electronics, we devote our human resources and
technology to cre-
ate superior products and services, thereby contributing to a
better global soci-
ety. This commitment is guided by our set of values that consist
of ‘Management
Philosophy, Core Values, and Business Principles’. To this end,
we translated our
five management principles into detailed action plan guidelines
to establish the
Samsung Global Code of Conduct that all of our employees are
guided by. To
drive our sustainable growth and define our way forward, we
are guided by the
following core values, which are instrumental to the way our

NAND technology delivers the industry’s highest
storage capacity for leading enterprise customers.
Also, we have further accelerated the growth of
the advanced memory segment by bringing lead-
ing-edge DRAM and NAND flash based solutions
to the market. Among those, the 8GB HBM2
DRAM and the 8GB LPDDR4/4X mobile DRAM
offer exceptionally high speed and bandwidth
which are required for next-generation graphics
and mobile applications. In the NAND flash sector,
consumer SSDs such as the 2TB 960 PRO (M.2
NVMe SSD) and the 2TB T3 (portable SSD) helped
the market move toward higher density consumer
storage solutions. The 512GB BGA NVMe SSD in-
tegrates all essential SSD components in a single,
one-gram package, allowing maximized flexibility
when designing computing devices.

24. In 2017, we have been proactively responding

prise, and cloud services to Augmented Reality
(AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and automotive applica-
tions. To this end, we plan to introduce a more
extensive lineup of advanced memory products
that deliver unparalleled levels of performance
and capacity, including the latest 64-layer V-
NAND-based SSDs for consumer and enterprise
applications, ultra-compact eUFS and high-speed
Z-SSD. We will also continue our advancements
in the 10-nanometer process technology for
DRAM solutions and next-generation V-NAND
technologies to maintain our leadership and
contribute to the growth of the global memory
market.

SuStAINABILIty MANAGEMENt VALuE CrEAtION
At Samsung, we strive to create social and environmental value
as well as economic value through our sustainability

34. management so as to contribute to the
development of the global society. Since such social and
environmental values are difficult to quantify, we have taken a
‘quality over quantity’ approach in setting
and managing our sustainability management goals. Since 2016,
we have adopted the ‘True Value’ method of KPMG that
quantifies social and environmental in-
dicators in order to visualize the values that we create. In 2017,
we reexamined and supplemented our value calculation
methodology and added detailed imple-
mentation guides to further improve the reliability of the data.
We identified any positive/negative impacts our business
operations had on the society or the environment and chose
quantitative indicators that best represent
such impacts. We also studied global research outcomes that
analyzed the economic value created by social and
environmental issues in order to calculate the
unit-based monetary value of respective indicators. Such
monetary value is presented in either positive (+) or negative (-)
numbers, and they represent the total
social value (benefits and costs) that we either created or
reduced at Samsung over the past year by December 31st of
2016. This approach identifies our True
Value that integrates socio-economic and environmental values,
as well as financial ones, created through our business
operation.

35. Since it is not viable to measure the value of all our
sustainability management initiatives through the use of
currently available indicators, we are constantly
monitoring the research activities conducted in measuring such
value in order to expand our management indicators. We will
strive to measure and manage our
social and environmental impact through the most diverse
perspectives. In 2016, our financial value was approximately
KRW 22.7 trillion, and our True Value, that
includes socio-economic and environmental values, amounted to
nearly KRW 26 trillion. This means that our True Value rose by
approximately 14.4% compared
to the current Financial Value and also rose by approximately
14.0% compared to 2015 True Value.
