Brad Sikes Electronic Portfolio Level: |
Originally, I am from Cordele, GA. I graduated from UGA in 1994 with a degree in Health and Physical Education. In 1996, I completed a Masters in Middle Grades at UGA, and I also pursued post-graduate classes in Educational Leadership. For five years, I have taught in local middle and elementary schools. My focus in school counseling is in the middles grades.
As a teacher and a coach working with large groups, I came to appreciate working with students in one-on-one and small group settings. I found myself drawn to making a difference in the lives of young people at these more individual levels. It was fulfilling to me as a teacher to help students focus on social/emotional growth, conflict resolution, attendance, and achievement. As a school counselor, I look forward to the wonderful opportunity to work more closely with students in these areas.
As part of a nationally recognized school counseling program here at UGA, I feel well-prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. The cohort system is an ideal way to learn and grow with a group. The faculty is caring and supportive, and they offer a wealth of knowledge, experience, and insight. Please contact me with any questions at bradsikes@hotmail.com.
