Perceived Roles

I think the roles and responsibilities of a guidance counselor is to make sure the student is on the correct academic path that they have chosen for that student. They informed the students and/or parents of scholarship opportunties that's available. Guidance counselors help the students with schedule changes in case they're in the incorrect classroom. Another important role that they play is to help the students socially in case of the death of a someone within the student body. They are another source to help the student cope with what has just happened and to determine if it is something that is going to interfere with their school work. The counselors also test their assigned students to see where they are as far as student's course selections.
