Easy Integration Paves theWay for Implementation Success!How do teachers find the time to implement anew program? Flexibility.

“Our teachers feel that Lions Quest integrateseasily into the academic curriculum,” explainsDarlene French, Comprehensive Learning Supports System Specialist, Iberia Parish SchoolSystem, LA.

“We have always had a positive response to the training and introduction of the curriculum.But more importantly, we receive the same response in our follow up after the teacher hasimplemented the curriculum in the classroom.”

“The program reinforces classroom management and is very easy to use.”

“We also find that a lesson can be divided intoseveral days with no negative impact.” IberiaParish teachers observe students enjoying the lessons and using them both inside and outsidethe classroom.

“Lions Quest has been an integral factor inimproving school climate and meeting the requirements for mandated implementation ofPositive Behavior Interventions and Supports(PBIS). We have definitely seen a reduction in referrals for drugs and weapons and I feel it is because of the prevention units covered in all grades.”
