School Graduation

Many career and educational plans are made well before high school graduation. School counselors’ efforts to support these plans are limited by the lack of assessments of middle school students’ college-going beliefs. Development of the College-Going Self-Efficacy Scale for middle school students is described in this article. Initial evidence of validity and reliability from three separate studies is reported, and suggestions for using this scale with students are provided.

School Graduation

Junior high school and middle school students are a rare breed. They can be utterly charming one minute and yet extremely difficult to reach the next. Their minds seem to be everywhere but in the classroom. The far-off goal of high school graduation is too remote to entice some to hard work, and to others it must seem the impossible dream.
