How would you deal with a teacher who does not respect the school counselor?
I have come across that during my time during my internship .. and it's usually because the teacher doesn't understand the role of a school counselor. I would first try to understand where the teacher was coming from, and just listen .. try to collaborate with them .. maybe they had an unpleasant with another counselor .. I would try my best to support that teacher in some way .. maybe in the beginning of the year .. I could administer a survey to teachers and find out what they think a counselor's role is .. and then go from there. I feel like teachers spend the most time with the kids, so they are a valuable resource ..
