QUESTION 2 [25 marks]
2.1 Read the brief case study and answer the questions that follow:
Mr Johnson teaches Grade 5 at Young Minds Primary School. Sicelo, an 11-year-old learner has appeared to be deeply unhappy and disengaged in class for the last two months. Sicelo had previously been energetic, fully participating in all lessons and liked playing soccer with his friends. He has stopped doing his homework and refuses to join in the extramural activities he used to enjoy.
A school counsellor works from a residence on the same street as the school. During break time one day Mr Johnson takes matters into his own hands and tells Sicelo to get in his car and he will take him for a drive to chat. He drops Sicelo off at the school counsellor down the road instead. The counsellor then agrees to assess Sicelo to set counselling goals so that they can meet weekly during school hours for the next 6 weeks. Mr Johnson says that he will bring Sicelo to the sessions every week.
2.1.1 Outline the observable changes in Sicelo’s behaviour and engagement in class and extracurricular activities over the past two months. What signs suggest that Sicelo may be experiencing emotional distress? (4)
2.1.2 Evaluate Mr Johnson’s decision to actively address Sicelo’s well-being and discuss the ethical implications of the teacher taking Sicelo for a drive to meet the school counsellor without explicit parental consent. (6)
2.1.3 Discuss the role of parental involvement in addressing Sicelo’s emotional well-being. In your answer, discuss how Mr. Johnson might collaborate with Sicelo ‘s parents to create a supportive environment for him, both at school and at home? (5)
2.1.4 To create a friendly setting, and to put the learner at ease, explain how Mr Johnson may invite Sicelo to talk to him. (3)
2.1.5 Discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity in counseling sessions, especially when addressing potential emotional distress in learners from diverse cultural backgrounds. How can teacher counselors ensure that their approach to counselling aligns with cultural norms and values? (4)
