Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

Which of the following is the most appropriate activity for a school counselor to facilitate to prepare students for the transition from middle school to high school?

1. A dinner for students and parents to encourage family engagement

2. A parent meeting to promote academic excellence

3. A pep rally for school spirit

4. A panel discussion between middle and high school students to answer questions

The correct answer is: A panel discussion between middle and high school students to answer questions

A A dinner for students and parents to encourage family engagement and B: A parent meeting to promote academic excellence are both incorrect options as they focus on parental involvement rather than preparing students for the transition between middle school and high school. While parental involvement is important, it is not specifically aimed at preparing students for the transition. C: A pep rally for school spirit is incorrect because although it may boost school spirit, it does not directly address the concerns and anxieties that students may have about transitioning to high school. D: A panel discussion between middle and high school students to answer questions is the most appropriate activity as it allows current high school students to share their experiences and answer any questions that middle school students may have. This can help alleviate concerns and familiarize students with what to expect in high school. Additionally, the peer-to-peer aspect of this activity can make it more relatable and engaging for the students.
