This unit is designed as a resource for counselors and teachers collaborating on classroom guidance.  It is structured as a series of workshops integrated into core and elective courses, and aims to improve emotional behaviors and attitudes of the students. Supporting what guidance counselors refer to as the self-actualization process, the guidances address several  identity issues confronting the culturally diverse population of  African American students attending University City High School.
