In my school, Tubakuta Lower Basic, guidance and counselling is to enhance access retention and performance of students in the school. So currently I practice helping students to understand any difficulties or feeling they have and gain control of it. Moreover, I discuss with them, the skills of awareness and knowledge to enable them to overcome social or emotional difficulties.
The challenges I face in implementing guidance and counselling is resolving conflicts between students especially when it reach at parental level.
The leadership strategies that can help integrate counselling into daily school life, especially in school with limited trained personal, I select senior and experience teachers and an oustass to discuss the behavioral matter of the problem.
There was a girl in my school who behavior suddenly changes, and her performance was dropping. Then I ask the teacher about that child, she said she don't know why, then I called the child, and she explain the reason, then I advise her, then I later called guardian of that child and discuss the matter, then suddenly through my monitoring of the child, she changes.
I support teachers to identify and respond to learners emotional and behavioral needs so as to assist at what can be address within the school and what may need further help.
