Successful Implementation of a Federally Funded Violence Prevention Elementary School Counseling Program: Results Bring Sustainability
Duarte, Danielle; Hatch, Trish
Professional School Counseling, v18 n1 p71-81 2014-2015
Sixty-four federal Elementary and Secondary School Counseling (ESSC) program grants were awarded in 2009. One awarded school district implemented a comprehensive school counseling program based on the ASCA National Model at three high-needs elementary schools. This case study describes a district initiative that provided prevention education for all students and interventions for students with identified needs. Based on improvements in attendance, behavior, and achievement, the district funded and expanded the program after federal funds ended.
