Inquiry Project Ideas

When I sat down and really thought about what I wanted to do for my inquiry project I wanted to focus on something that I would be doing within the school system. I have already decided that I will not be obtaining my teaching certification. Rather, I will recieve my BA in sociology and continue to grad school to become certified to be a guidance counselor. Although this class is designated for those who are preparing to become teachers, I believe that it is a worthy class for me as well and I am learning a lot about the school sytem that I will be able to benefit from as well.

Some of my ideas were:
- What role do guidance counselors play in relationships within the schools? (ie: teacher/student, parent/student, etc.)
- How much help can a student recieve from a counselor and what are the borders of confidentiality?

I am not sure if these questions relate to the essential questions on the syllabus, however I am still exploring my options for the project.
