Description
The cost of academic failure is unacceptable and represents an immense hurdle in the education system today. Given the known negative outcomes associated with academic failure, new methods for prevention and intervention are needed (CASEL, 2015; Ohrt, Webster, & De La Garza, 2014; Weissberg et al., 2015). The Student Success Skills (SSS) curriculum presents as an intervention to address academic, behavioral, and social-emotional factors that mediate success in the education system (Brigman & Webb, 2010). The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of the SSS curriculum among 9 – 12th grade students placed in MTSS study halls in the upper Midwest. To assess the efficacy of SSS, the variables of self-efficacy, social support, grades, and attendance were analyzed as markers of student success. Results showed increases in grades, while attendance, social support, and self-efficacy results were mixed. Limitations, future directions, and implications for school counselors are discussed.
