Negative behavior affects everyone in a classroom, not just those students acting badly. Classroom management suffers and all students miss out on valuable instructional time as teachers deal with behavior issues.

With EduGuide, students learn and practice emotional intelligence skills that lead to positive outcomes such as listening better, getting over setbacks faster, and managing stress better. They begin to choose positive behaviors over negative actions to reach the goals they set for themselves.

A rigorous, independent study indicated that EduGuide significantly reduced students’ likelihood of negative behavior referrals in 6th grade. The study measured EduGuide’s impact by comparing students who used EduGuide to similar students who did not use EduGuide after controlling for other factors.

Compared to a statistically similar comparison group student with a 30% chance of having one or more negative behavioral referrals, a similar EduGuide student had only a 17% chance.

EduGuide not only consistently improves a range of learning behaviors, it can also prevent bad behaviors. Teachers report that students are better prepared, listen more, and participate more in class,

Both staff and students regularly report that EduGuide improves teacher-student bonds, which leads to deeper engagement. As one administrator noted, "When trust and respect are established, classroom management is easier. Students who feel heard are more willing to listen."

An award-winning nonprofit founded in 2000, EduGuide's programs have been used by thousands of schools and colleges to coach millions of students to success. Learn more about us.
