چکیده
Promoting alternative thinking strategies (PATHS) is an intervention that aims to improve children’s social and emotional competence, promote self-control as well as reduce problem behaviours. This intervention is a comprehensive curriculum that consists of lesson plans covering multiple year groups in preschools and primary schools. This curriculum is designed to be delivered by teachers to the whole class and consists of manualised scripts. While this programme has been widely researched in the US, only a small number of studies have been conducted based on a UK sample.
