Three Guilford County Schools counselors have recently published articles in state and national publications.

Dr. Karen Meadows, supervisor of K-8 counseling, published "Grieving Lessons in Any Language" in the Spring 2010 issue of NCSCA News, a publication of the North Carolina School Counselor Association. Her article explains how she and students were able to connect through silence during a time of crisis. The article is available at http://www.gcsnc.com/depts/counseling/pdf/Published%20Article%20-%20Dr.%20Karen%20Meadows.pdf.

Patricia Taylor, counselor at Washington Montessori, wrote "Young Ladies of Destiny," which was published in the Winter 2010 issue of NCSCA News. Her article describes the Young Ladies of Destiny program at Washington, which helps fourth- and fifth-grade girls develop healthy self-images and build meaningful relationships with other girls. It is available at http://www.gcsnc.com/depts/counseling/pdf/destiny.pdf.

Stephen Kennedy, counselor at Northeast High, authored "The Trouble with Boys: A Surprising Report Card on Our Sons, Their Problems at School and What Parents and Educators Must Do," a review of a book by Peg Tyre. The book studies the "boy problem," the gap between the academic success of boys and girls. His article was published in the June 2010 issue of the Professional School Counseling Journal.
