Скачать или смотреть More Than Academics How 21CCCS Supports the Whole Student

In this 3rd episode of the 21CCCS Podcast, Dr. Flannery sits down with our Guidance Department: school counselors Ashley Cooke, Lisa Moynihan, Sanna McCoy, and social worker Katie Leber for a behind-the-scenes look at how we support the whole student in a virtual school setting.

Together, they explain what the Guidance Department does at 21CCCS, why online counseling can be uniquely effective, and how strong relationships are built through consistent virtual check-ins. The conversation covers today’s most common social-emotional challenges, how counselors collaborate with teachers and families, and how students receive support when stress, anxiety, or life circumstances impact learning.

You’ll also hear how guidance services go beyond emotional support, including academic advising, course planning, pacing, success coaching, and helping students build independence and self-advocacy. Finally, the team shares how they guide college and career planning (transcripts, applications, deadlines, and career exploration), as well as what mental health and crisis support can look like in an online environment.
