I am very pleased to serve as the 7th Grade Counselor at Eagle’s Landing Middle School. I am a proud native of Atlanta, Georgia.          I attended Morris Brown College for my undergraduate studies in Early Childhood Education. I began my career in Education in 2002 as an Elementary School Teacher in Dekalb County School District. I believe learning is a lifelong journey. I furthered my education by obtaining both my Masters and Educational Specialists Degrees along with Certification in Educational Leadership and Supervision. I became a School Counselor in 2006.  As a School Counselor, my primary responsibility is to promote the academic, personal, and social development of all students. I love serving in this role because it allows me to work with many children and their families on important skills. I truly believe it is vital for the adults of the future to learn how to communicate and get along with each other and solve difficult problems. As I work with our students, I hope to change the future positively. If assistance is needed beyond the brief solution-focused counseling model, other resources will be provided as needed. 

The 7th graders will see me in a variety of settings this year as I work to meet their academic, personal/social, and career needs. I am available to meet individually with students, as well as providing guidance in the classroom.  I will also be developing small groups throughout the year to help students become confident, successful learners. The ELMS Counseling Team also collaborates with teachers, administrators, and other school & community stakeholders to support and ensure our Scholars Soar!

About Me

Greetings! My name is Jalen Carver and it is a pleasure to serve as Eagle's Landing 8th Grade Counselor for my third year. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Master of Education in School Counseling from Georgia State University. I have been working with youth for about 8 years, and I am beyond excited and motivated to work and grow with my 8th grade scholars as we get them prepared for high school and beyond. My hope is to foster meaningful relationships not only with the students, but with parents, teachers, staff, faculty, and anyone touched by Eagle's Landing. My work is rooted in social justice as I help students grow in the academic, career, and social/emotional domains. This will be where you come to find updated resources pertaining to the 8th grade for this school year. If you have any questions or want to reach me, my email is jalen.carver@henry.k12.ga.us.
