Hatching Results trains and consults with schools, districts, and counties across the country as they design and improve their school counseling programs to best support student outcomes. Through measuring process (what services are performed for whom), perception (attitudes, knowledge, and skills), and outcome (achievement-related and achievement) data, school counselors demonstrate how students are different as a result of a comprehensive school counseling program. Below is a sampling of results from districts supported by Hatching Results.
