Conventional wisdom has it that the way to achieve more is to study harder--put in longer hours and avoid the distraction of other people. Research suggests something different--study smarter, not necessarily harder, and use other students as a support group. This book provides teachers and counselors with tools they need to help students improve both their perceptions of themselves as achievers and their ability to apply effective learning strategies. Students determine what's right about their achievement and where they can make improvements by completing and scoring the Achievement Potential Survey. They check their interpretative and prescriptive skills by discussing relevant Simulated Case Histories. They enhance their ability and motivation to achieve by participating in Individual and Group Activities that focus on these topic areas: (1) Being Comfortable in School; (2) Getting Along with Others; (3) Asking for and Getting Help; (4) Goal Setting; (5) Decision Making and Problem Solving; (6) Career Exploration; (7) Study Skills; (8) Self-esteem and Personal Strengths.

This book describes three guidance programs which have a solid conceptual foundation and have been field validated through extensive and successful use in school programs across the country. The first chapter presents "The Comprehensive Guidance Program Model" by Norman C. Gysbers. This guidance program model reintegrates guidance into the curriculum and redefines the counselor's role and duties in the context of the overall guidance program. This program aims to set up a guidance curriculum to integrate the work of school counselors into the educational mainstream. The second chapter presents "The Teacher Advisor Program" by Robert D. Myrick and Linda S. Myrick. The assumption behind this program is that each student needs a friendly adult in the school who knows and cares about him or her in a personal way. The advisors help their advisees deal with the problems of growing up and getting the most out of school. The third chapter presents "Invitational Learning for Counseling and Development" by William W. Purkey and John J. Schmidt. This program seeks to redress the forbidding school climate by reconstituting the entire school (people, places, policies, programs, and processes) so that every aspect serves to "invite" students to learn by respecting them encouraging them, and validating their unique importance and possibilities. The fourth chapter "Putting It All Together" by Garry R. Walz summarizes the three programs and focuses on their combined use. The three monographs which are devoted to each of these approaches are cited in the bibliography. (ABL)
