Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- understand the associations between academic achievement and behavioral/emotional risk.
- consider critical timepoints for identification and intervention during elementary school to improve academic, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.
- implement quality reading and writing instruction during the early elementary years to minimize the negative trajectories associated with behavioral/emotional risk.
Description
Given the high rates of academic and behavioral problems for school-age children, more research over time is needed to investigate the bidirectional associations between behavioral–emotional problems and reading achievement. This presentation will discuss the results of a research study that examined the relationship between English language arts achievement and behavioral and emotional risk with a sample of predominantly culturally and linguistically diverse students. Practitioners will learn how they can minimize negative trajectories through early identification and intervention.
