Positive Schools > Program Components

The Positive Schools program provides a minimum of 15 days on-site consultation and training, as well as off-site consultation, program evaluation, and monitoring. The program includes the following elements, which are customized to meet the needs of each individual school:

  • Comprehensive school-wide and classroom-wide behavior support plans
  • Effective methods to deliver instruction
  • Effective behavior support strategies
  • Student and staff incentive programs
  • Professional training and development
  • Technical assistance to ensure successful implementation and replication
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Project evaluation including performance measurement, teacher satisfaction surveys, and parent feedback
Before the Positive Schools program was implemented in one large urban school, students typically disrupted class by walking around, talking to peers, throwing things, and refusing to participate. Within four months of program implementation, disruptive behavior in one classroom decreased by 69 percent, and academic engagement increased by 76 percent.
