7 Reasons to Make Positive Action Part of Your School

1. Succeed with a National Leader

Positive Action is the ONLY character education program in the nation to earn a top rating from the U.S. Department of Education’s What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) in BOTH the academics and behavior outcome domains. No other program received the top rating in even one of these areas. See our newly released Character Education Topic Report.

2. Get Results with an Evidence-based Program

Research on schools using Positive Action shows:

Academic achievement scores (reading, math, and combined scores) improved by up to 75%
General discipline reduced by up to 90%
Violence reduced by up to 85%
Drug, alcohol, and tobacco use reduced by up to 71%

3. Save Your School Money

Positive Action is an all-in-one program. With Positive Action there is no need for many different programs to address separate issues. Our one program works effectively for a host of pressing issues from improving academics, behavior, and character, to reducing violence and substance abuse.

4. Save Teachers Time

Easy 15-minutes lessons help teachers reduce time spent on disciplinary problems and spend more time teaching students. Within 20 quick lessons students and teachers will see results.

5. Increase Students’ Time-on-Task

Positive Action teaches children how to learn by systematically teaching the necessary skills for achievement in the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional areas of the whole self. As a result they increase their time on task, which in turn helps their performance in school.

6. Meet the Requirements of No Child Left Behind

7. Instill Intrinsic Motivation

Positive Action shows how positive thoughts lead to positive actions, positive actions lead to positive feelings about yourself, and positive feelings lead to more positive thoughts. We all want to feel good about ourselves, so when we consciously understand this natural process, we are motivated to choose positive actions. When we learn to value achievement, we will achieve.
