Program or Intervention Summary

Positive Action (PA) is a school-based program that includes school-wide climate change and a detailed curriculum. Lessons for each grade level are scripted and age-appropriate. All materials necessary to teach the lesson are provided in kits including posters, puppets, music, games, and other hands-on materials integrated into the lessons. Students’ materials include activity booklets, journals and other lesson aids. The content of the program is delivered in six units that form the foundation for the whole program. There are two school-wide climate development kits (elementary and secondary) and a Counselor’s Kit. The contents delivered through the climate development and counselor kits reinforce the classroom curriculum by coordinating the efforts of the entire school in the practice and reinforcement of positive actions.
