BRIEF SUMMARY

The “ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: K-12 College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student” describe the knowledge, skills and attitudes students need to achieve academic success, college and career readiness and social/emotional development. The standards are based on a survey of research and best practices in student achievement from a wide array of educational standards and efforts.

KEY POINTS

  • The 35 mindsets and behaviors describe knowledge, skills and attitudes for students to achieve success in college and career readiness.
  • They are aligned with specific standards from Common Core.
  • Can be used to access student growth and help counselors plan activities

RESOURCES

SHARED WISDOM

  • We see mindsets and behaviors in the work that we do through competencies. Competencies are specific, measurable expectations that students attain as a result of a lesson or activity. These competencies, or learning objectives, often begin with “The student will be able to” or “The Student will understand.”
