kako bismo preveli riječ 'pedagog' (znači osoba koja radi u školi) ? jeli pedagogue dobar prijevod? kad gledam objašnjenje u engleskom jednojezičnom rječniku, nije to to.

English translation:school counselor
Explanation:
A school counselor is a counselor who works in schools. It is a practice most common in the United States and Canada.

Most school counselor occupations or equivalent occupations are comparable to the U.S. high school counselor in terms of duties and services. Historically, the need for high school counselors has been emphasized more so than school counselors in lower grades. Many countries vary as to whether counseling services is provided outside a school setting, or not provided at all.

guidance counselor


Explanation:
A guidance counselor helps students determine courses of study and possible vocations. Counselors try to understand what motivates each student as well as his or her skills and desires.
As most guidance counselors spend over a third of their time in consultations with students and parents, prospective counselors should be comfortable with teenagers and have excellent communication skills. Another 25 percent of a guidance counselor’s day is spent administering and evaluating tests. Guidance counselors use the results to provide context for existing records of academic performance, teacher evaluations, and a better overall understanding of students’ needs. Some guidance counselors call the continuing education they receive from the students with whom they work the most interesting feature of the profession.
