Session 7. Teaching Pre-Service Counselors to Disaggregate Data to Identify Achievement Gaps: Examining Gender and SES Factors

Printer-friendly version

No Child Left Behind pushes for closing the achievement gap so all children can successfully navigate the educational system to be “college- and work-ready.” It is vital that our graduate students in school counseling be prepared to collect, analyze, and disaggregate data to demonstrate where significant educational disparities exist in order to develop appropriate school counseling program rationales and interventions. Presenters will share two research projects and results that show the impact of gender and SES on educational opportunities and academic achievement, as well as how to involve our graduate students in such action research.
