Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHS®). Intervention Snapshot. Supportive Learning Environment Topic Area. NCEE 2021-008
What Works Clearinghouse
The "Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHS®)" program is a curriculum that aims to promote emotional and social competencies and to reduce aggression and behavior problems in elementary school children. "PATHS"® is delivered through short lessons given two to three times a week over the school year. The program is based on the principle that understanding and regulating emotions are central to effective problem solving. The lessons focus on: (1) self-control; (2) emotional literacy; (3) social competence; (4) positive peer relations; and (5) interpersonal problem-solving skills. There is a separate curriculum for each grade. This What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) intervention report, part of the WWC's Supportive Learning Environment topic area, explores the effects of the "PATHS"® program on student emotional awareness, social interactions, behavior, and academic achievement. This intervention snapshot provides findings on "PATHS"® from two studies that meet WWC standards. [For the full report, see ED611242. For Intervention Brief, see ED611243.]
