Two high impact factors that have been shown to impact student achievement and wellbeing are hope and a sense of school belonging. This session will provide an overview of the research on these factors, including their connection to critical student outcomes, how they can be fulfilled through the ASCA’s Mindsets and Behaviors, and how to measure them using research-based, free-access instruments. The session will also provide strategies that school counselors can use to support these factors with evidence-based interventions.
