Counseling Overview

We offer comprehensive counseling services that are an integral part of each school’s total educational program designed to promote academic, career and personal/social development of all students. Each school site’s comprehensive counseling program has a developed mission, vision and beliefs based on the unique needs of the school community with input from key stakeholders from school, home and the community.

Adheres to the Ethical Code developed by ASCA and the American Counseling Association.
Use data to drive overall counseling program goals to determine that critical school needs are met.
Are aligned with the District’s Mission and support the District’s Strategic Plan and Local Accountability Plan goals.

Intern With Us!

We are excited to invite masters-level school counseling students to complete a practicum and/or an internship with the Beaumont Unified School District.

Our School Counseling Internship Program has been developed to assist the District's school counselors in partnering with an intern in order to positively impact student achievement while exposing future counseling professionals to evidence-based academic, social/emotional, and college and career programming within the District.

Prospective interns are encouraged to complete an interest form during the application window as soon as possible, since placements are limited and registration will be closed once filled. Once the interest form is complete, the District's counseling coordinator will review the submission.

Before completing the interest form, please review the information below, so you can successfully complete the eligibility process. There are three separate steps that must be completed in order to receive an internship approval email. Completion of all of these steps helps ensure that Beaumont Unified schools have qualified school counselor interns working with students.

Counseling Internship Interest Form

IMPORTANT NOTE: Submitting an Interest Form does not guarantee placement at a school site. If you have questions, please contact the Counseling Coordinator at [email protected].

Completing an interest form does not guarantee an internship placement. Potential practicum and internship students must complete the site clearance process through Human Resources and an eligible site supervisor must be secured prior to any formal offers for placement. For additional information, please see the document titled, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Step 1: Complete the Beaumont Unified Counseling Internship Interest Form

Prospective interns must complete the online Beaumont Unified Counseling Internship Interest Form, which requires general information.
Prospective interns are encouraged to complete the Interest Form as early as possible. Please submit the Interest Form at least 4 weeks before the anticipated start date.
Once the registration is complete, the BUSD Counseling Coordinator will review the submission.

Step 2: Site Clearance Process

After BUSD reviews the completed application components from Step 1, prospective interns will be sent the Site Clearance Form in an email notifying them of potential placement and site supervisor once final clearances are completed. Prospective interns must complete the Site Clearance Form and submit it in a timely manner.

Once the Site Clearance Form is processed, the intern will receive an Approved Internship notification via email with the approved site and the name and contact information of the designated site supervisor.

Step 3: Pre-placement Internship Meeting

An initial in person or virtual meeting will be set up between the intern and the Counseling Coordinator and the approved PPS Site Supervisor to review necessary information and answer any questions prior to the internship start date.
