Humanities Homework Help

Students face a variety of challenges such as experiencing trauma, violence, abuse, neglect, bullying, racism, diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health disorders, medical diagnoses, unstable housing, hunger, and other issues related to living in poverty. School counselors play an integral part in helping improve academic outcomes for students with social, familial, emotional, or behavioral challenges by integrating interventions into the school setting. School counselors have access to intervention programs they can utilize to advocate for students.

• Explain how social, familial, emotional, and behavioral problems affect students’ academic achievement in a specific grade level.
• Describe two evidence-based programs that teach social-emotional skills or decrease behavior problems to increase academic achievement.

  • Topics addressed by the program and how the topics are taught to students.
  • Resources the program provides to families.
  • Requirements to successfully implement the program, such as supplies, cost, and staff trainings.
