8 to Great changes lives from the inside out. How?
…It offers internal motivation The external motivators of “Do this because if you don’t you’ll be punished” is no longer effective. Students do, however, change their behaviors when it brings them closer to their dream. In 8 to Great language: “Are you running to or running from?”
…It teaches a positive attitude formula. The patented 8 to Great FGH Formula is simple enough to remember and therefore to use. Students love it…and live it.
…It’s easy to implement because it’s user-friendly. This flexible curriculum consists of 6 Levels of scripted 20-30 minute engaging activities. You can use it with one grade level or with every grade from 7-12 without repetition!
…It’s relevant. Students go from flunking the pre-test to acing the post-test because they apply the material every day. Also, Student Handbooks highlight heroes that are on Facebook!
…It teaches a decision-making process students and staff use their entire lives. By asking ourselves one question, we can make the best, most courageous decision every time.
…It’s affordable. You’ll use 8 to Great year after year to help students succeed. Training fees are $695 per person for the two-day training, which includes sixty 20-minute activities.
