Executive Summary

This executive summary briefly summarizes the outcomes of a randomized trial of the effects of the PATHS^® Curriculum in Northern Ireland Schools. The PATHS^® Curriculum is designed to improve children’s mutual understanding, empathy, problem solving, and behaviour (Kusche & Greenberg, 2012). This independent evaluation draws on data obtained by Queens’ University, Belfast at Time 1 (Autumn, 2008) and by the Institute for Effective Education (IEE), University of York/Johns Hopkins University at Time 2 (Summer 2009) and Time 3 (Summer, 2010).

PATHS^® teaches us how to feel other people’s feelings and treat them the way you would like to be treated

Sabrina, Year 3, Vauxhall Primary School, London
PATHS^® has taught me that all feelings are OK but the way we react is sometimes not OK.

Oyinade, Year 5, St Alfege with St Peter’s Primary School, London
During lunch today x greeted me and said “Hello”. He also then said “Hello Girls” to two classmates sitting nearby. This is the first time I have ever seen x say hello to anyone. I told him later how please his classmates were that he greeted them, and he was so proud. It sounds like a small thing, but it is a big change for him.
