Improved Attitude and Achievement: A Case Study of an Elementary School Academic Advisement Intervention
Kamrath, Barry; Brooker, Teresa
Professional School Counseling, v21 n1 p60-69 2017-2018
School counselors are often called upon to develop and implement academic interventions. In this case study of one urban elementary school, a school counselor conducted a small group academic advisement intervention. The results suggest that integrating the activities into the elementary school counseling program can be an effective Response to Intervention (RTI) component that advances academic achievement and improves attendance and discipline issues. This article presents the impact of the intervention on student and parent attitudes toward school and future success and shares implications for school counselors.
