The program philosophy teaches students to treat others with the dignity and respect with which they wish to be treated. This concept is the building block upon which success in violence prevention rests.

When there is less time spent on discipline, more time can be spent teaching your students, which leads to greater academic achievement. In addition, the Positive Action program leads to greater respect, empathy, and kindness among your students, which then results in a positive learning environment. The program creates this atmosphere through a system that increases positive behaviors and decreases negative behaviors.
