    2. Assist teachers with strategies to reinforce socially acceptable behavior and respond to behaviors that may hinder healthy social, academic, and psychological development.
    3. Provide teachers with guidelines to help them determine when student behavior should be referred to the counselor.
    4. Conduct training sessions for teachers on best practices for fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment.
  4. Student Counseling Services:

    3. Maintain open and regular communication with parents regarding student well-being and intervention plans when necessary.
  6. Child Protection and Staff Well-being:
    1. Serve as a Child Protection Officer, ensuring all child protection policies are implemented and documented in accordance with school policies.
