Mr. Hunter is a retired military officer who is beginning a second
career in school counseling. He has taken a job as the school

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,090
counselor in a consolidated 7th through 12th grade school in a small
rural district. There are approximately 125 students per graduating

00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:30,190
class, and he currently has 550 students in his caseload. In
addition, 66 of those students currently meet eligibility for

00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:39,180
special education, and 22 of their cases involve transition plans
this semester. Consequently, Mr. Hunter is scheduled to attend

00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:46,200
several IEP meetings in the next few weeks. While Mr. Hunter's
school counseling training prepared him for general school

00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:54,020
counseling roles, he is feeling overwhelmed with all of his special
education responsibilities. Furthermore, he feels unprepared to work

00:00:54,020 --> 00:01:02,050
with students with disabilities. He does not know what his role is
supposed to be at these IEP meetings or what types of services he is

00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:09,240
to provide to the students. He wants to provide good support to
students with disabilities but is not sure how to do so.
