Supportive Alignments & Teams In Group Supervision For School Counselors-In-Training, Christopher Sean Perrello
Supportive Alignments & Teams In Group Supervision For School Counselors-In-Training, Christopher Sean Perrello

In investigating these particular linguistic strategies, I emphasize how some of the major goals of group supervision (including feedback and reflection) are discursively expressed …
Differential Effectiveness Of Sitting Meditation Program And Movement Meditation Program In Reducing College Students' Cognitive And Somatic Trait Anxiety, Sanghyeon Cheon

Two outcome variables (cognitive trait anxiety and somatic trait anxiety) were measured four times by using on-line self-report questionnaires. It was hypothesized that moving meditation program would be more effective than sitting meditation program for those whose cognitive trait anxiety is dominant over somatic trait anxiety at the baseline and …

The results showed that, in schools with greater outreach efforts by teachers, there were sharper gains in the reading scores of students with low initial reading ability and students who frequently read outside of school. Minority students with low initial reading ability did not show much gains in schools where teachers engaged more in outreach. These findings demonstrate that teacher outreach efforts, student minority status, and reading outside …
