PATHS® (Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies)
A social and emotional learning program for children in grades K-6
Channing Bete Company brings you the research-based and proven-effective PATHS program, a violence-prevention curriculum that promotes social and emotional learning (SEL), character development, and bullying prevention, and builds the problem-solving abilities and other life skills required for positive relationships today -- and throughout students' lives.
- It's flexible -- the PATHS program integrates into any K-6 school curriculum.
- It's easy to implement -- Instructor's Manuals and Curriculum Manuals guide teachers every step of the way.
- PATHS works!
Even when children know what to do when conflicts arise, getting them to follow through in the heat of the moment can be a challenge. But the PATHS program, grounded in brain development research, helps turn knowledge into action. Clinical studies* have found the PATHS program to significantly:
- reduce teachers' reports of students exhibiting aggressive behavior
- increase teachers' reports of students exhibiting self-control
- improve students' ability to tolerate frustration plus their ability -- and willingness -- to use effective conflict-resolution strategies
- reduce behavioral problems, such as aggression at school (for both regular and special-needs students)
- significantly decrease conduct problems and the percentage of aggressive/violent solutions to social problems.
- reduce depression and sadness among special-needs students.
