Kindergartners Are Ready to Learn: Applying Student-Within-Environment Theory to a School Counseling Intervention

Abstract

The authors delivered a school counseling intervention grounded in advocating student-within-environment theory (Lemberger, 2010) to 57 kindergarten students. Using an action research design, 2 school counselors implemented the intervention in 5 classrooms. Program participation resulted in enhanced executive function and social-emotional learning skills. Implications for practice and research are provided.
