AN EVIDENCE-BASED, SCHOOL COUNSELOR-LED SERIES OF PROGRAMS K-12
Student Success Skills (SSS) is based on the principle that students can improve academically when surrounded by a supportive environment that involves skill-building activities in self-management/self-regulation, prosocial behaviors, and cognitive/learning skills.
Approximately 10,000 school counselors and teachers have implemented the SSS programs in classrooms and small groups. To date, approximately four million students have received one or more of the SSS programs.
Overall, consistent significant findings have been found, among the 27 published studies, demonstrating the efficacy of the SSS interventions on several aspects of student functioning and academics that are summarized below under the three skill sets that the SSS programs target.
