School intervention program to increase behaviors and attitudes that promote learning.

This two-year intervention program attempted to work with the school as a social unit so that behaviors and attitudes that promote learning could be consistently reinforced throughout the school. Positive changes in anxiety, impulse control, and behavior problems among the students were recorded in the first year but not in the second year. Possible reasons for the failure of the program in the second year and a review of the program by school personnel are reported.
