Abstract
ABSTRACT This pilot study involved fourth and fifth-grade students (N = 25) from two elementary schools that receive the True Goals (TG) small group intervention during an after-school program in one school district in the Midwest region of the United States. A one-group pre-post design was used to assess classroom teachers’ perceptions of student learning gains in motivation, self-knowledge, self-direction, and positive relationships as scored on the Protective Factors Index (PFI). Results indicated that students that participated in the TG curriculum experienced significant gains (p = .01) in motivation, self-knowledge, self-direction, and positive relationships over time, with a large effect size (d = .83).
