Positive Action consists of integrated kindergarten through 12th grade classroom curricula,
school preparation and teacher training, a school-wide climate-change program, a family program,
and a community involvement program. The goals of PA are to improve individuals, families,
schools, and communities by teaching that doing positive actions help them develop positive
identities. Each goal has individual objectives which include decreasing drug, alcohol, and
tobacco use, and decreasing incidents of violent behavior or misconduct.
The program reported favorable outcomes for Positive Action students in the areas of
substance use, violence, other crimes, truancy/absenteeism, academic achievement, and student
self-concept.
