🌟 Positive Choices With Action

Making Positive Choices. Building Academic Confidence. Preparing for Success.

The Positive Choices With Actions program is a dynamic academic and enrichment program designed to empower our youth with the skills, confidence, and mindset they need to make positive choices in school and in life. Through a combination of PSSA preparation, Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA), character development, positive decision-making, and engaging extracurricular activities, children are encouraged to discover their strengths, challenge themselves academically, and make choices that support their future success.

📚 PSSA Preparation & Academic Success

Youth participate in targeted PSSA preparation designed to strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, evidence-based thinking, and test-taking strategies. Instruction provides youth with opportunities to work with grade-level texts, analyze questions, practice constructed responses, and build the confidence needed to demonstrate what they know on state assessments.

✍🏽 Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA)

A key component of Positive Choices is developing strong Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA) skills. Youth learn how to carefully read and analyze texts, identify important ideas, cite relevant text evidence, explain their thinking, and develop organized written responses. The goal is to help youth move beyond simply finding an answer to proving their thinking with evidence.

💡 Positive Decision-Making

Academic success is only one part of preparing youth for their future. Through interactive lessons, discussions, scenarios, and reflection, youth explore positive decision-making, goal setting, accountability, problem-solving, communication, and responsible choices. Scholars are encouraged to think about how their decisions impact themselves, their peers, their families, and their communities.

🧘🏽‍♀️🎭🏀 Enrichment & Extracurricular Activities

Positive Choices provides youth with opportunities to explore their interests and discover new talents through engaging extracurricular activities, including:

• Yoga – mindfulness, movement, focus, and self-regulation
• Theater – creativity, communication, confidence, and self-expression
• Sports – teamwork, discipline, leadership, perseverance, and healthy competition

These experiences allow youth to build skills that extend beyond the classroom while developing confidence and positive relationships with others.

🌟 Our Goal

The Positive Choices Program is built on the belief that every youth has the ability to succeed when given the right tools, support, and opportunities. Our goal is to help our youth become stronger readers and writers, confident test-takers, thoughtful decision-makers, and well-rounded individuals.

Positive Choices. Positive Mindset. Positive Future.

Through academics, character development, and enrichment, youth are empowered to make choices today that create opportunities for tomorrow.
