EFFECTIVE PRACTICES AND COUNSELLING SKILLS
“Every child you pass in the hall has a story that needs to be heard. Maybe you are the one meant to hear it.”

As students spend half of their growing years in school and college, teachers have a significant role to play in shaping the personality and perspectives of the learners. Teachers who are in constant touch with the students can initiate individual or group conversations, encourage students to open up and then guide students to the school counsellor when necessary. This makes the role of a teacher imperative in an academic set-up. With the expert, compassionate and learner-centric approach of our respected Principal Ma’am, we, at DPVN CBSE, constantly strive to create an environment that facilitates student achievement, improves student behaviour and attendance, and helps students develop socially.
