In such a set-up, there’s no duplication of efforts in helping an individual toward self-development GUIDANCE PERSONNEL A Chairman- Superintendent, President, Director, or Dean- better known as the Educational Administrator Homeroom and classroom Teachers- known as homeroom sponsor- aimed to develop desirable pupil-teacher relationship, assist in the guidance of pupils, develops desirable ideals and habits- personal and civic, and expedite the handling of administrative routine.
