(2) They can apply diverse techniques of classroom management (e.g., prevention of disciplinary problems in the classroom) and know relevant authorities for further information (e.g., legal conditions). (3) They know stress coping strategies to prevent burnout and are familiar with relevant institutions (e.g., psychosocial support).
