A Sense of Mattering: A Group Intervention for African American Boys
Gibson, Eva M.; Sandifer, Mariama Cook; Bedford, Winifred
Professional School Counseling, v22 n1 2018
African American boys have been disproportionately represented in school discipline data. School counselors are encouraged to integrate cultural considerations while developing interventions for African American boys. A middle school counselor (the first author) utilized discipline data to create a culturally responsive group intervention designed to affect behavior and develop social/emotional skills. Through the analysis of perception and outcome data, findings indicated improvement in behavior and social/emotional skills among participants. We discuss implications for school counselors, school counselor education programs, and school districts.
