The TERRIFIC Kids program
promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. With
teacher assistance, students establish goals to improve behavior,
peer relationships, attendance, schoolwork, etc. during a specific
time period. The TERRIFIC Kids program provides
teachers with a tool to reward students for special achievements
that may otherwise go unnoticed.
