This module deals with application of concepts, principles and methodology of guidance already discussed in Module-1. As you already know there is an emphasis on the role a guidance worker/counsellor can play in creating a wholesome school atmosphere. Unit 1 of this module further explains the factors that can facilitate a positive and healthy environment in school and a teachers/counsellor s role in preventing and dealing with behavioural and other discipline problems in schools. As the counsellor has no role in enforcing discipline on students, Unit 1 presents strategies towards inculcating self-discipline in tune with attaining the overall educational goals.
A well trained counsellor plans and organises a systematically planned programme of guidance based on the developmental and situational needs of students to maximise their educational, career and personal social development. Unit 2 explains the steps, procedures and sample activities to facilitate development of students with respect to each of these areas.
A comprehensive guidance programme however has to be geared to meet the unique needs of every child in school including that of normal, disadvantaged, physically, learning and intellectually disabled. Unit 3, in three sections, discusses guidance needs and the strategies to guide and counsel each of the three groups.
Unit 4 presents the importance of evaluating guidance activities to establish their identity as an integral part of school education. Feedback provided by the consumers of guidance, i.e. students, teachers, administrators and parents can help to continuously improve the programme and establish its effectiveness in the school system.
The module also has self-check exercises and activities with every unit as was given in earlier modules. A summary has also been given at the end to give an overview of the unit. References and additional readings provide the readers with additional sources of information.
