In high quality summer programs, youth are busy and engaged in conversation or activities throughout the course of the day. Additionally, students appear calm and in control of their selves, following program rules and behavioral expectations. Establishing a strong foundation for positive behavior allow all students to participate freely, consistently, and even lead the direction or nature of activities.
