1.2) Holistic view

Rather, try to get an overall picture of the learner’s behaviour in different situations and what he or she is like with different people. Rebellious behaviour is often a cry for help, so do not label a learner as one “with whom you cannot do anything”.

1.4) Career awareness
The choice of an occupation already begins when a learner chooses his or her subjects. Many learners choose subjects with little knowledge of the career options that exist and with little understanding of what different careers require. It is thus essential that educators and parents become involved in the career and job awareness process. Learners should choose subjects and careers in such a way that they can be self-employed

However, there was one area of the evaluation that she only scored a four, meaning, “exceeds standards”. It was in regards to punctuality. This particular area was “arrives on time; gives ample notice if unable to attend”.…

    Reflection for Week Eleven During week eleven I had the opportunity to sit in on parent teacher conferences on Tuesday and Thursday. Although the days were very long since we were at school until 6:30pm each night, I gain knew insight from the teacher’s perspective.

    As I will be working as a school counselor in a high school setting, most of my students will be thinking about where they want to go to college, what they want to study, or what careers they would be interested in pursuing.

Instead, I can work with my students to convey the importance of engaging in a variety of activities that may present various alternatives and choices to them. If my students can remain alert to these alternative opportunities, they will have more career paths to choose…

Student success or failure should never be attributed to his self-worth. The reason for misbehavior form a student could be attributed with his home-life.
