In such situations, I first assess the student's needs by engaging in a one-on-one conversation to understand their challenges. I then collaborate with the teacher to develop a tailored support plan, which may include additional tutoring, emotional support, or referrals to school counselors. My goal is to create a safe and encouraging environment where the student feels comfortable expressing their concerns and actively participates in their own improvement process.

Building rapport involves active listening, empathy, and showing genuine interest in students' lives. I engage in open-ended conversations, participate in their activities, and show appreciation for their efforts. By being approachable and non-judgmental, I create a trusting relationship where students feel valued and understood, which encourages them to open up and engage more fully in their educational journey.

I would first collaborate with the teacher to identify the specific needs of each student. Then, I would assist in creating differentiated lesson plans and activities that cater to various learning styles and abilities. Additionally, I would provide one-on-one support during class to ensure all students are engaged and progressing. By fostering a supportive classroom environment, we can help each student reach their full potential.

In a previous role, I mediated a conflict between two students by first allowing each to express their perspective in a calm and controlled setting. I then facilitated a discussion where they identified common ground and agreed on a resolution. By promoting understanding and mutual respect, the students were able to resolve their differences and continue their learning without further disruption.

I stay updated by regularly attending professional development workshops, webinars, and conferences focused on education and counseling. I also engage in online courses and read relevant journals and articles. Additionally, I network with colleagues and participate in professional organizations to exchange ideas and stay informed about the latest trends and techniques in both education and counseling.
