You Feel Good About Yourself When You Do Positive Actions.

Using Positive Action for AllParts of Title 1

Positive Action is an effective and appropriate program for all parts of Title I. It provides additional academic support and learning opportunities to help low- achieving children master challenging curricula and meet state and Common Core standards in academic subjects.

Positive Action has recently been approved as a program that meets all of the requirements of School Improvement Grants for the new Whole-School

Reform model. It is also appropriate for Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance programs with proven, easy-to-use tools. Positive Action provides effective extra instruction in reading and mathematics as well as special preschool, after-school, and summer programs to extend and reinforce the regular school curriculum. Plus, Positive Action has been proven effective as a program for neglected and delinquent children as well as early childhood development.

Positive Action is pleased to announce that it has been approved by U.S. Department of Education as a Whole-School Reform model for School Improvement Grants (March, 2015). It is one of only four programs that met all of the criteria and one of two which is a PreK—12 program.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GRANTS An Approved Model

“Both schoolwide and targeted assistance programs must use instructional strategies based on scientifically based research and implement parental involvement activities” (ED.gov website “Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs”.

Positive Action has been recognized since 2006 by the U.S. Department of Education What Works Clearinghouse as an effective program (positive effects ++, without reservation), for improving academics (reading and math), behavior and character. It has a PreK—12 program with instructional strategies.

There is a Parents’ Manual contained in the Elementary Climate Development Kit and other activities to involve parents (parent representatives are part of a leadership committee). Positive Action also has a Family Kit and Family and Parenting Classes Kits to teach parents how to use the Family Kit at home.

There is curriculum for each grade level PreK—12, materials for classes for parents and families, and other tools to reinforce the positive actions taught in the classes. The program is flexible and can be customized to fit each site.

Positive Action has a proven Pre-School Kit with five to ten minute scripted-lessons and all the materials needed to teach the lessons. The materials in this captivating kit has puppets (Mimi and Squeak—hedgehogs), stories, music activities, and colorful visual aids. There are also many hands-on activities to engage the students and assist them to grow academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally.

The Kindergarten Kit through Grade Three Kits are outstanding resources with many of the same strategies as the PreK Kit to engage the students and develop their success holistically.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM

The Positive Action program is highly-effective for upgrading the instructional program for the whole school. It teaches academic skills or the Common Core and other State standards through a PreK—12 curriculum. With Positive Action, there is a positive school climate development component that creates an environment where students feel welcome and supported. The skills taught in the classroom are reinforced intrinsically to help students become their best selves academically, behaviorally, physically, socially, and emotionally. There are School-Wide Climate Development Kits for both the elementary and secondary levels. These kits provide all the tools needed to organize the whole school for creating a positive learning environment to boost standardized tests scores.
