TARGET GROUP Students selected are third and fourth graders with an attendance rate lower than 85%. The selection process included meeting with the parents and teacher of each student.

American School Counselor Association Standard Students will acquire the attitudes, knowledge and skills that contribute to effective learning in school and across the life span.

Demographics  2 females  4 males  3 third graders  3 fourth graders

Data Collection Process Data was gathered from attendance records in Mojave, report cards, and personal contact with students.

Group Activities (continued) In the third quarter, some changes were made: 2 students moved away, 2 more added. Two students were placed in other guidance groups, one for self-esteem, and one for study skills. Weekly check-in. Celebration lunch.

Good Morning Club Name______________

Group Activities (continued) In the fourth quarter, the format changed again: Daily check-in to put sticker on chart; Students came either before school, during lunch, or at another convenient time during the day. This worked better, as you can see from the following data.

(The 6 th one was at 89%)  Altogether, there were 35 fewer days absent within the group in the 4 th quarter than in the second quarter.  Students exhibited pride in their achievement, and looked forward to the stickers.
