School counseling staff, as well as teachers and others running advisory or related groups, will find this manual to be useful for helping students succeed in middle school. At this critical point in their lives, young adolescents can move in a positive and hopeful direction, or they can enter into a negative, downward spiral. SDM/SPS provides students with basic school survival skills and research-based strategies for responsible decision making and problem solving. SDM/SPS uses a positive, project-oriented approach to help reduce school violence, foster social and emotional intelligence, improve academic effort and attention, develop multicultural perspectives, and prevent at-risk students from giving up on school. The authors present a thoroughly tested and effective approach for working with a broad spectrum of learners, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders. The manual includes numerous reproducible worksheets and assessment tools for tracking progress. It provides strategies for supporting academic achievement, improving media literacy skills, encouraging parent involvement, and implementing a school-community service project.
