Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article presents findings from a school counselor-operated creativity enrichment program targeting academically underperforming second-grade students. Results from this pre/posttest study indicate that students in the treatment groups significantly increased their creative ability as measured by the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking when compared to a matched control group. Implications for school counselor advocacy, leadership, and programming are discussed.
