Barna, Jennifer S.; Brott, Pamelia E.
Professional School Counseling, v17 n1 p97-110 Jan 2013
Elementary school counselors can support academic achievement by connecting their comprehensive programs to increasing academic competence. One valuable framework focuses on academic enablers, which are identified as interpersonal skills, motivation, engagement, and study skills (DiPerna, 2004). In this article, the authors (a) discuss the essential role of elementary school counselors in supporting student achievement, (b) provide an overview of the academic enablers' framework, and (c) offer practical recommendations for implementing this framework.
