Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

The Behaviors component of the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success focuses on the development of specific skills and strategies that are essential for academic success, such as learning strategies, self-management skills, and social skills. This option aligns with the goal of helping students acquire the necessary tools to excel in their academic pursuits. Option B, students' sense of belonging, falls under the Beliefs and Attitudes component, which focuses on students' perception of themselves and the school environment. While this is important for overall student well-being, it is not the main focus of the Behaviors component. Option C, understanding the importance of post-secondary education, falls under the Career Development component, which focuses on preparing students for their future career paths. Finally, option D, students' attitudes and beliefs about themselves in relation to academic work, falls under the same component as option B and is not directly related to the development of learning strategies and self-management skills. Therefore, the best supported option by the Behaviors component of the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success is A.
