Overview

Have you seen a child being too aggressive – hitting and hurting other children, destroying things etc..? Have you seen a boy/girl being too timid, withdrawn, aloof, isolated? Have you seen an adolescent high school student being reckless, indulge in risk behaviours – smoking, drug and alcohol abuse? All of us have seen and have wondered why? Why the children are like this? How to set right these children? What should be done to avoid these problem behaviours? How to identify and address these behaviours and intervene to mainstream them? The students need not be exceptional to encounter problems in school. They face a diverse array of problems and challenges as they progress through school years which manifests itself through these behaviors. We know that the children are an asset for a country since they are the future nation builders and their health and wellbeing always remains as a primary concern. Children of elementary school, middle school and high school spend the active part of their day at school and hence, school plays a very important role in moulding the personality which endures through thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the students.

The course " School counseling " has given me an opportunity to enhance my knowledge in handling school students. The content was appropriate and information provided in each video was benefitting for me. This was very much useful in my career. The quiz helped me to analyze and answer. Each and every content was useful and enriched my life. The theories stated by many psychologist have influenced me very much. Especially the theories of Erik Erikson and Robert Havigurst. I was very much inspired by reading their theories. It suits best for our life. I was admired by studying those theories and astonished by reading some facts about the development of children. All the details were important and gave me satisfaction in choosing this course. Each week gave me a new idea of handling students. Handling students emotion is not an easy task. This showed me a path like how to handle their emotions and show a successful path to them. Each and every unit created a great insight and I personally benefited from this course.

Highly recommended.

All teachers should have a basic knowledge about counselling or how to counselling.

When counselling emergency arises we are needed or expected to know what to do or how to react in a proper right way, while waiting for a professional help.

If first aid kits is a must possession of a school's infirmary for the physical well being of the students, so also this school counselling course it is likely as important for the teachers, for the mental wellbeing of the teachers as well as the students.

Thank you, CEC and SWAYAM Portal for this helpful and important course.

Feedback :-
Now a days counseling is needed in not schools but in every sectors. But it is most important in schools. Students are future of our country. So teachers need to posses basic counselling skills to develop overall personalities of students, such as academic, career & personal, emotional, intellectual growth for most adolescents. Thats why now teachers are expected to work closely with parents, students, & other professionals such as psychologist & social workers. Because students face lots of problems & challenges through school years. Students are future nation builders, so their health & wellbeing is very important.
In the course of school counselling Dr. Ramya Bhasker & other teachers explain the concepts very well. All chapters are vary important & useful for school councelling. It is needed to learn for students, teachers, school counsellors. I have learn lot of things in this course. Piaget's cognitive development theory, Ivey's developmental therapy, Erickson's psycho social theory, Blocher's developmental counselling & Havighurst's concept of developmental task, in these I learn to these theories. For me how parents involvement, their consultation, their support is most important in childrens life is important to me, because it is related to my research topic. Thats why I choose this course. In this school counselling course I learn about study habits also because it is also related about my research topic. So my research topic is related to parents role & students study habits, & thats why I choose this course. But I learn not only about my topic but beyond this I get knowledge about so many things which is very important many for me. Teachers should know all this knowledge of school counselling for nurturing the students.
The overall experience is very good in this course. I Thank to Dr. Ramya Bhaskar to give knowledge about the course. All the video's & e - texts are very useful. So thank you Dr. Ramya Bhaskar, Anitha J., Dr. K. Arockia Maraichelvi, Mrs. P. Jagathambal, Dr. Mutum Silpa Devi & all professors to give a useful & wonderful knowledge.
Thank you, from,

Respected Teachers,

I have completed this course in the month of April 2022. This is very useful introduction to the School Counselling field. It has benefited me to understand the role and responsibilities of a School counselor and also got an idea regarding different difficulties faced by students in their school age. They need continuous support from teachers and parents to achieve their life goals along with guidance from School Counselor and School Management.

After completing this course I myself got motivated to learn more regarding these courses conducted either in India or outside India and sure I would like to pursue further knowledge in this field and help needy students at all levels.

I thank you all teachers of Avianshilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women and also the Swayam platform for giving us this opportunity to complete such courses on our own.

Best Regards,

Counselling can help to improve mood, treatment illness, reduce medical costs, improve communication and relationships and promote self esteem and resilience. Through proper guidance students learns to appreciate others. Counselling makes them more aware about their choice and goals . They make better choice in school as well as get mentally prepared for the future life. A proper counseling can help students talk openly about their issues. The primary motive behind counseling at school level is to address the emotional , social and behavioral needs a seamless and friendly environment to help each one them with different approaches . Always remember that school based professionals provide counseling and not psychotherapy. The children's are the asset of a country since they are future nation builders and their health and well being remains a prime concern.

The course is very comprehensive. It includes all the important aspects of school counseling, all the problems that the counselors can face while dealing with the children. The course caters to the different approaches of counseling and different techniques and therapies that can be used for effective counseling sessions. It consists all the relevant history of counseling , the background and theories that are associated with counseling. The course also covers the area of different difficulties that children might go through as they grow up, and enter adolescence, the children who have a difficult environment at home . It emphasises the role of a school counselor and the steps that can be taken by the counselor. The modules cover each and everything very precisely. They are crisp and well written. The videos help in understanding and clearing any doubts that we might have while reading the e-text. The graded assignment every week not only keeps us regular but also helps in comprehending the matter that we have learnt. However there can be more subjective assignments in the course , and while submitting the subjective assignment, there should be an option to submit again because sometimes due to technical glitch, it gets submitted on its own. Overall, the course is very well comprehensive and provides a deep insight into school counseling.

A good course outlining the essentials of school counseling. I had taken Psychology in my High school level and it has always been one of my favourite subjects. And now since I am a teacher , I felt that a course in counseling would surely add to my cv.
