Abstract
Choice architecture is a concept from Behavioral Economics that looks at how to encourage people to make choices that are in their best interest, while still allowing for autonomy of choice. In this session, presenters will teach the basic principles of choice architecture, and will facilitate a discussion on how school counselors can apply its principles to help increase students' taking advanced classes, participating in extracurricular activities, promoting post-secondary attendance, and other important student issues.
