Classroom and Group
Mindsets & Behaviors Action Plan
The ASCA Student Standards: Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success guide the planning and delivery of all student activities
and interventions. The classroom and group Mindsets & Behaviors action plan provides an overview of the delivery of direct
services in large group (LG), classroom (Class) and small-group (SG) settings. This plan presents the topics addressed, while the
annual calendar presents the schedule of all classroom and groups activities.
Use the classroom and group Mindsets & Behaviors action plan to identify all ASCA Student Standards addressed through
classroom and group activities. Although some activities address multiple standards, list the activity with the primary mindset
or behavior addressed by the activity. It is not necessary to repeat activities with all standards addressed through that activity.
