Teachers are not only responsible for delivering instruction but also serve as strategic partners for school counselors in identifying students\u2019 needs, facilitating their development, and supporting their psychosocial well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key topics discussed during the program was the importance of communication competencies through the <strong>3M Approach<\/strong>, which consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active Listening<\/strong> \u2013 paying full attention during communication to better understand others\u2019 perspectives and needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understanding Explicit and Implicit Messages<\/strong> \u2013 not only grasping what is directly communicated but also recognizing the underlying meaning, emotions, and context behind the message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Responding Appropriately and Positively<\/strong> \u2013 providing constructive, solution-oriented, and empathetic responses that strengthen relationships and collaboration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Kusnarto, strengthening these 3M competencies is fundamental to building healthy collaboration among teachers, school counselors, students, parents, and other educational stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEffective collaboration begins with quality communication. When teachers are able to listen actively, understand comprehensively, and respond positively, various student-related issues can be addressed more effectively and proactively,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the program highlighted the crucial role of teachers as the individuals who interact most closely with students on a daily basis, enabling them to identify academic, social, and emotional challenges at an early stage. Through strong partnerships between teachers and school counselors, schools can establish a more effective support system that promotes students\u2019 holistic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This International Community Service Program reflects FIPP UNNES\u2019s commitment to expanding international partnerships while contributing to the enhancement of Indonesian education abroad. Through initiatives such as this, FIPP UNNES continues to promote the development of educators\u2019 competencies, enabling them to respond to global educational challenges while upholding the values of humanity, character building, and student well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By strengthening communication and collaboration competencies, teachers are expected to become effective partners for school counselors in creating safe, supportive, and nurturing learning environments that foster students\u2019 optimal growth and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/unnes.ac.id\/fipp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-13-at-18.35.19-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unnes.ac.id\/fipp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-13-at-18.35.19-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/unnes.ac.id\/fipp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-13-at-18.35.19-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/unnes.ac.id\/fipp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-13-at-18.35.19-1-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/unnes.ac.id\/fipp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-13-at-18.35.19-1.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok, Thailand \u2013 Kusnarto Kurniawan, M.Pd., Kons., a lecturer from the Counselor Professional Education Program (PPK) at the Faculty of Education and Psychology (FIPP), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), together with the community service team, conducted an International Community Service Program at the Indonesian School of Bangkok (SIB), Thailand.
