School Districts Love The PATHS® Program

 
 
[OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL] is now in our 3rd year of using the PATHS® program. Since using it, we have seen a dramatic effect with the students. When we first began, teachers assessed their students and found that 28% of our population had difficulty concentrating and focusing in the classroom. That number has now dropped to 20%. We recognize that the paths program has given teachers the tools and strategies to help our students be more successful.
