Learner Academic Counseling, Behavioural Advising and Mentoring
Counseling is designed to facilitate learner achievement, improve their behavior, attendance and help them develop socially. The school’s teaching staff provides counseling services to learners who are experiencing personal or academic challenges and intervene when they face behavioral, physical, or mental health challenges.
These counselors often help learners mediate conflicts with their peers, tutors, or parents. The same teachers often help learners that require extra attention integrate into classrooms and oversee programs that address requirements for learners with difficulties.
Counselors often help students in:
- Providing instruction on psychological and social issues.
- Counseling services
- Early intervention
- Special needs services
- Providing short-term counseling services to learners during school hours.
- Providing referrals, recommendations, and education to parents about mental health concerns.
- Maintaining academic standards and setting goals for academic success.
- Developing skills to improve organization, study habits, and time management.
- Working through personal problems that may affect academics or relationships.
- Improving social skills.
- Coping with school or community-related violence, accidents, and trauma.
- Identifying interests, strengths, and aptitudes through assessment.
