Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to try to protect your student from risky behaviors, such as bullying, aggression and substance abuse, while improving his school success?  Fortunately, the “One Degree at a Time” program addresses these situations.  In January 2015, we will begin this pilot program in the following schools: Aiken High, South Aiken High, Schofield Middle, Aiken Middle, and Kennedy Middle.

Components of this program include: life skills training, goal setting, decision-making, conflict resolution and self-esteem issues. The curriculum for the sessions includes: team-building skills, listening skills, negotiations skills, and violence prevention. The expected outcome from participation in the program is that participants will:

 

o Express a greater commitment to stay in school

o Have increased self-esteem

o Develop greater relationships with family

o Demonstrate less risk taking behavior

o Demonstrate a greater sense of belonging

o Demonstrate increased pro-social involvement

o Develop a greater resiliency to avoid negative peer groups
