Interviews and a survey were conducted with 74 teachers of different seniority selected from five public high schools in three regional directorates, in the 2018/2019 academic year, Casablanca-Settat region. This study shows from a deep analysis, that the coordination and cooperation with teachers and students in the process of school orientation were very low or null. In this study, scientific research and my experience have shown that the attainment of the desired objectives of high school students' educational guidance can only be achieved through coordination and cooperation between the various actors in the school guidance process. Teacher’s role is very essential since they are the closest to the student and the process of the student's educational orientation must be one of his main and fundamental tasks. It is concluded that public schools with the integration of teachers in the student's educational guidance have more success in the school path, as the participation of teachers in the guidance of their students, improves the process and increases its effectiveness. Our study has allowed us to detect very important results and information on the teacher’s role who must be an advisor in his school and must be a requirement of the process of academic guidance of high school students that we will present and discuss.
