How can person centered counseling be applied in schools?
What will be an ideal response?
To facilitate a young person’s learning, teachers must do three things: First, facilitation demands having an initial genuine trust in learners. Second, teachers must create an acceptant and empathic classroom climate. Acceptance is “prizing,” “non-possessive caring,” and the “operational expression of his [the facilitator’s] essential confidence and trust in the capacity of the human organism” (p. 109). Third, students must perceive that teachers care about them. Teacher empathy is another important quality in student-centered learning. Rogers defined empathy as “the attitude of standing in the other’s shoes, of viewing the world through the student’s eyes, [which] is almost unheard of in a classroom” (p. 112). Teachers must be flexible in teaching methods, and they must be transparent with students, parents, principals, and teachers.
