They arrive in a program with the help and support of a specific person or a few people in their social networks. Read more about these "sponsors" in the new issue of "Focus on Basics", now available on the Web: http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu (scroll down a bit and click on "newest issue of Focus on Basics on counseling"). Also in the issue: * When does counseling learners go beyond the role of the teacher? Read about how this Missouri program went about deciding to employ a social worker. * Who supports the helpers? What are states and programs doing to train and support counselors? * Helping students handle stress is one way to counsel. This Cambridge, MA, program offers a course that teaches mind/body responses to stress as it teaches basic skills. * Counselors are often responsible for recruitment and enrollment. This workplace learning program used action research to understand which of their recruitment techniques were and weren't working --- and altered them as a result. * ESOL teachers often see themselves as advocates and counselors as well as teachers. Two programs talked to us about their two ways of approaching this function.
