This course is intended for senior students or practicing teachers who wish to

explore the contributions counselling skills provide. The course is designed to

develop some counselling skills that can be applied within the classroom

setting. A combination of lectures, discussions, practice exercises and

seminars will be used to explore such topics as: the role of the counsellor in the

school, different models of counselling, effective helping skills, the use of group

discussion to promote affective development, and the use of assessment

techniques in the classroom.
