Counselling
Students
School counsellors provide appropriate psychological services to the students that address educational, social, emotional and behavioural needs, either individually or in groups. Working collaboratively with families, school communities, and external agencies are integral to the role. School counsellors work proactively and responsively within the principles of a Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention framework.
In recent years, the higher education landscape of the country has undergone rapid changes. Similarly, the number of career options has also increased exponentially. This can make the students who are on the verge of leaving school feel lost and without purpose if they fail to plan for the future. Laying down a robust career plan is vital to make the transition from school to the real world smooth. School authorities, as well as parents, are doing their best to help students by giving ‘Career Counselling’. The Presidency takes it as a duty to safeguard the interests of students by providing the right kind of career counselling.
The objective of career counselling is to provide an opportunity to students to obtain unbiased and authentic career information and to equip them with the knowledge of the scientific process of choosing careers and courses.
Teacher’s Counselling
The Presidency International school always organizes some interactive sessions for the teachers in which they can enhance their personality and upgrade their knowledge which helps the teachers to become conscious of experiences which previously they were unaware of. Further, it helps in visualizing the teacher’s point of view.
Presidency organized a counselling session conducted by Mrs Ekta Jain, a counsellor from Agra. Mrs Ekta Jain has been a part of various training workshops like CBT, REBT, MANAGEMENT OF VARIOUS CHILDHOOD DISORDERS, PLAY THERAPY, etc.
She addressed the gathering and left the PRESCO teachers with facilitating positive change and fresh enthusiasm. She did act like a psychologist. She spoke to the PRESCO teachers regarding working as a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) that is the major factor for every working institution. She further said that teachers should act as coaches, advisors, mentors, role models and leaders. She further concluded that good teachers should always accept the responsibilities and have a smile on their faces. She added that a good teacher should always have integrity and honesty which helps in building a healthy and meaningful relationships. She, at last, said that we should always avoid arguments because one is never likely to win them as words are like double-edged swords, can both heal and hurt and hence it reflects the attitude of the person.
The main points that were discussed in the counselling session were: –
- Loyalty towards your profession.
- Team spirit.
- Consideration towards students.
- Accepting responsibility with loyalty.
- Avoid gossip.
- Avoid arguments.
