Guidance and Counselling: A Handbook for Teachers and Students

Description

“Guidance and Counselling: A Handbook for Teachers and Students” starts by introducing topical issues with a captivating motivational story called “Parable of a Foolish Bee”. This story emphasizes the significance of young individuals showing respect for their elders in society. The book then proceeds to provide guidelines for creating a code of conduct, primarily tailored for secondary schools in Kenya. This is particularly useful for institutions that lack a comprehensive set of school rules or those looking to revise their existing ones.

The topics covered in the book have been carefully chosen to cater to high schools and beyond, even extending to home environments. The book delves into addressing both the physical and psychological needs of individuals, discussing subjects such as stress, emotions, discipline, peer pressure, HIV/AIDS, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The book thoroughly explores the roles that teachers and support staff play in combating these diseases.

By effectively using this guidebook, individuals can empower themselves and others against the perils of making unpopular decisions when faced with challenges of modern life. The book contributes to shaping a responsible future generation, one that doesn’t harbor defeatist attitudes and is prepared to maximize the opportunities that come their way.
