Abstract: School Counselor Roles in Character Education. Character education
was one of the focuses in the system of national education. Therefore, educators
must not neglect this. A school counselor, as one of the educators, has to play a role
in character education. Referring to guidance and counseling responsibilities in
relation to students’ personal, social, academic, and career aspects, a school
counselor must not escape from the main duties. Considering that character
education is the responsibility of all parties, a school counselor can, independently
and in collaboration with all school components, play a role in character education.
Individually, a school counselor can provide services, such as individual services,
individual planning services, and responsive services. In collaboration with other
parties, a school counselor can make a synergy in character education programs.
