Implications
• Program was successful at all three grade levels • The smaller the number of students served, the
greater the impact, however the large group showed a greater number of students who improved.
• Next year we may need to lower group size, utilize field work students to assist, enlist support and help from teacher as well.
• Look into impact of intervention on homework completion
Thank you!
• Teachers who participated and supported
• Administration for consultation and support of the program
• Working together we are succeeding!
The school counseling program is committed to contributing
in a meaningful way to the academic achievement
of all students
