“…This group counselling model provided better changes in line with the characteristics of the group counselling itself. Group counselling is a service to facilitate problem management [47,48]. The combination between group counselling and healing storytelling based on local wisdom is a new perspective in counselling.…”

Introduction. Discipline is a form of behaviour reflecting responsibility in a person and is essential to be applied to students. However, in reality, many students commit disciplinary violations at school. Therefore, social care teachers must provide innovative services to eliminate disciplinary violations. One such example is the narrative storytelling model presented in the form of healing stories, which can be applied to develop knowledge, feeling, social skills, and appreciation. Storytelling can play a very helpful role in counselling because stories reflect cultural laws, ethics, as well as in governing daily rules behaviour and guide decision-making.Aim. The current research is aimed to demonstrate group healing storytelling model in multicultural counselling services in schools for disciplinary case management.Methodology and research methods. This research methodology is based on the ADDIE (Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluations) model. The participants of this study were 60 students at Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya Senior High School (Palangkaraya, Indonesia). The research instruments for the verification of group healing storytelling model in multicultural counselling services involved front group discussion (FGD), questionnaires, and Likert scale to examine student discipline data.Results and scientific novelty. The present research provides group healing storytelling model based in multicultural counselling services by applying aspects of local culture in Indonesia, namely ‘Huma Betang' (local culture in central Kalimantan, Indonesia). The authors developed a narrative storytelling model consisting of objectives and intervention stages. The strengths and weaknesses of this model were analysed. Based on the data analysis, this model can be used to improve disciplinary behaviour. The results of statistical analysis show that disciplinary behaviour has increased after the provision of healing storytelling services.Practical significance. Based on the research results, the authors recommend this model for disciplinary case handlers. This model is also effective to integrate the components of socio-cultural context in curriculum planning. The present model is easily to accept because it has the uniformity with the culture of counsellee. However, it is limited to a cultural context, so it will be complicated to implement it in a different cultural environment.

“…To this end, educator perceptions and stereotypical biases of Black males often contributes to the discipline gap (Ford & Moore, 2013). Black male students are frequently disciplined at higher rates than their non-Black peers, and suspended from schools at a higher rate (Ford & Moore, 2013; Hines, Harris, et al, 2020; Hines, Hines, et al, 2020). More specifically, they are suspended from schools at more than twice the rate of their White counterparts (48.3% vs. 21.4%, respectively; Musu-Gillette et al, 2016).…”

Black males are often underrepresented in postsecondary education settings and frequently encounter many barriers in getting to college. Our aim in this qualitative investigation was to understand the precollege and college experiences of Black males who successfully enrolled in a postsecondary institution. Through a focus group interview, seven Black males in a living and learning community shared their experiences prior to and during enrollment at a highly selective, predominantly White institution. We used the grounded theory approach ( Strauss & Corbin, 1998 ) to analyze the focus group data and pinpoint thematic explanations of precollegiate and collegiate experiences of Black males. Based on the thematic findings, we offer specific recommendations on how school counselors can help Black males prepare and eventually matriculate in higher education.

“…Small groups provide a venue for students to learn about themselves, their peers, and their school counselor group leaders. More recently, small groups have demonstrated the ability to be spaces for healing engagement (e.g., social/emotional learning among peers; Ieva and Beasley, 2022), foster increases in academic achievement (e.g., end-of-quarter grades, comprehensive exams, standardized tests, and grade point average; Steen et al, 2017), and promote college/career development (e.g., college knowledge for Black male ninth-graders; Hines et al, 2020). Although evidence is emerging that school counselors can facilitate groups to improve important student outcomes, there remains a critical need to continue building on this line of inquiry.…”

This article presents a systematic review of group counseling interventions facilitated by school counselors that included academic achievement as outcome targets. We examined the articles that met the criteria to identify any therapeutic factors within the group interventions. A total of 18 articles met the criteria and all of the studies with the largest effect size (i.e., above .8) were found to have imparting information as one of the therapeutic factors coded as part of the intervention. Five articles were either qualitative in nature or did not present enough descriptive data to calculate effect size. These articles included at least three therapeutic factors and raised an important implication for mixed-method research studies to ensure more inclusive approaches in the future. We provide recommendations for practice and research and conclude this article with a call for more group counseling research in schools.
