Steen, Sam; Kaffenberger, Carol J.
Professional School Counseling, v10 n5 p516-519 Jun 2007
Professional school counselors face the challenge of delivering guidance and counseling services to students while connecting to the educational mission of schools. This article is a summary and evaluation of a small group counseling program that targets academic issues while addressing personal/social issues with elementary-aged children. Results suggest that integrating academic interventions and group counseling improved students' behavior related to school achievement. Implications for school counselors and application of the ASCA National Model[R] are briefly discussed.
