Rainbow Days proudly announces a 5-year grant from the AT&T Foundation to support the development of its new classroom-based program for Grades K-5, Positive Behavior for School Success (PBSSŪ). The goal of PBSSŪ is to reduce the number of students at-risk for dropping out of school due to behavior problems.  The grant unites AT&T's commitment to helping students complete school with Rainbow Days' expertise in improving behaviors among children at special risk for dropping out.  Based on the latest research, PBSSŪ addresses the underlying causes for student misbehavior, which can reduce time for academic study by up to 50 percent.  PBSSŪ incorporates core elements from Rainbow Days' evidence-based support group programs and focuses on key behavioral competencies needed for success in school and life.  The PBSSŪ lessons and booster activities concentrate on developing empathy, respect for others, manners, social awareness, and skills to improve communication, relationship-building, conflict resolution, and self-control. When completed, PBSSŪ will include teacher training, parent resources, documentation and evaluation tools, and implementation assistance.  In addition to being designed for implementation in schools, the quick and easy PBSSŪ activities are also intended for use in after-school, church, recreational, and classroom settings.  AT&T's support of PBSSŪ is gratefully acknowledged, and Rainbow Days is proud to partner with AT&T in achieving its mission of improving school success for our nation's youth.
