1. What do college counselors do?
If you want to say what a counselor does, I think I have a say. After all, I have been a counselor for six years and have managed dozens of classes and nearly 2000 students. During this period, I had sweat, tears, sadness, joy, growth and frustration. I think counselors mainly do the following work:
First, ideological and political education. Mainly to carry out positive ideological education and guidance for students and guide them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values.
This is one of the most important and core tasks for counselors. Nowadays, the social environment faced by college students has undergone profound changes, and the social mentality has also undergone obvious changes. Faced with the ever-changing information network technology, all kinds of things that college students come into contact with are more and more complicated, everyone's ideas are more and more complicated, and students' personalities are more and more prominent.
Especially in the face of the ideological erosion of hostile forces, college students may lack a correct understanding, which requires counselors to carry out ideological guidance and ideological and political education.
Through the subtle ideological and political education of counselors, college students can see things correctly and establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. This is the basis and premise of college students' all-round growth. Only when the ideological and political quality is high, can it be both popular and professional, useful to society and the backbone of the country and the nation.
Second, student affairs management. Including students' study, life, employment, psychology, enrollment, funding, rewards and other aspects, covering almost all aspects closely related to college life.
There are many contents in student affairs management, for example, counselors should check the bed every week, patrol the classroom every day, and talk with classmates every day. When students are about to graduate, they should also actively contact the employer and come to the school for recruitment; For students with employment difficulties, he also needs employment assistance; Students with abnormal psychology also need psychological counseling; For students with learning difficulties, 1 should be tutored to1; Students from poor families are also given difficult help; Give active guidance to students who have obstacles in interpersonal communication; Students whose comprehensive quality needs to be improved should also be encouraged to actively participate in various activities at all levels.
In short, all aspects of student affairs management are the work content of counselors, and it is also the most important core task of counselors except ideological and political education. This is also the key work to improve students' comprehensive quality and ability and grow into talents in an all-round way.
2. What's the difference between a college counselor and a college teacher?
I think the main differences between university counselors and university teachers are: university counselors have more work content, while university teachers have a single work content; The work pressure of college counselors is greater than that of college teachers. The salary of university counselors is relatively low, while the salary of university teachers is relatively high; It is difficult for university counselors to evaluate professional titles, while it is relatively easy for university teachers; The social status of university counselors is not as high as that of university teachers.
In a word, there is a great difference between university counselors and university teachers, and the work of university counselors is very heavy. However, I think being a college counselor is also a tiring and happy thing. What do you think of this?
