District discretion is advised in the implementation of Classroom Guidance Units and Lessons. Prior to local district use, each Classroom Guidance lesson should be reviewed to determine appropriateness of content for local district needs. The classroom guidance activities were thoughtfully developed by Professional School Counselors and Counselor Educators from throughout the State of Missouri. This is not a State-mandated curriculum. The units and lessons are samples only. The content may be modified to meet local district needs.
