Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

What is a collaborative indirect approach to reduce the number of students with failing grades?

1. Creating a targeted small group intervention for study skills and mindset strategies.

2. Meeting individually with students to discuss postsecondary options.

3. Seeking evidence-based strategies for academic improvement.

4. Partnering with families, teachers, and administrators on advisory council feedback.

The correct answer is: Partnering with families, teachers, and administrators on advisory council feedback.

Collaborative indirect approach refers to an approach where different individuals or groups work together towards a common goal. In this case, partnering with families, teachers, and administrators on advisory council feedback would be the most effective way to reduce the number of students with failing grades. This is because it involves all key stakeholders in the education process and allows for a comprehensive and collaborative effort to address the issue. Option A, creating a small group intervention, may be effective for some students but may not address the root cause of the issue for all students. Option B, meeting individually with students, focuses on postsecondary options rather than addressing the current issue of failing grades. Option C, seeking evidence-based strategies, is a good step but may not involve all stakeholders and could be more effective if done collaboratively. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it involves all stakeholders and allows for a comprehensive approach to reduce the number of students with failing grades.
