A positive attitude, more than skills or intelligence, is the central element in determination success. The POPS program is developed around this theme and includes the following four basic, research-supported beliefs:

•A strong, positive relationship exists between self-concept and achievement

•A positive self-concept is learned and, therefore, it can be taught.

•Children must experience success in order to develop or sustain a positive self-concept

•A positive learning climate, including school, home and community, is crucial

Students are going to be conditioned by the people and events that are a part of their daily lives; therefore, the major question becomes, “Is the environment in which they live going to be positive or negative?”

The POPS program ensures that students and employees will be positively influenced rather than unknowingly be subjected to negativism.

•Everybody wants to be somebody—everybody is somebody

•Positive attitudes are vital for good health, wealth and happiness

•Attitudes and behaviors are learned

•Attitudes are taught in the home, school and community

•Teachers can help students learn to believe in themselves and become aware of their great potential

•There is a direct relationship between self-esteem and achievement

•Self-concept is learned as a consequence of experience; therefore it can be taught

•When you lose your feelings of importance, you lose your zeal for life

•Students, faculty and staff are positively or negatively influenced by the people and events that are a part of their everyday lives

•The psychological, social, emotional and moral development of a child is not incidental to his education—it is the heart of the curriculum and provides the foundation upon which education is built
