GOAL-DIRECTED BEHAVIOR
Around the country, more schools are experiencing promising results with social-emotional learning, buoyed by research that correlates it with positive outcomes, like academic gains and reduced disciplinary incidents.
Research shows that Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) increases prosocial behaviors (such as kindness, sharing, and empathy), as well as improving student achievement by an average of 11 percentile points. SEL can improve student attitudes toward school, and reduces depression and stress among students (Durlak Et al. 2011)
Our program - TOPUCU - The Only Person U Cheat is U - is an evidence-based SEL that develops self-awareness, self-management, optimistic thinking, goal-directed behavior and decision making. Our seven step program teaches principles to create transformation.
EQUIPPING EDUCATORS. EMPOWERING STUDENTS.

Fulfillment:

A peek inside the program:
lesson one: habits
Lesson one is about habits and the three components: Trigger, Routine and Reward. We focus on the “Routine” as the one component of habit that you can actually control. Dissect the Trigger to understand the “Why” behind every habit. Develop new routines that line up with what you are trying to accomplish.
lesson two: motivation
We introduce the “Scales of Motivation” as a guide to why you may or may not be doing something. Evaluate the scales to see which part of the formula needs to be adjusted in order to keep moving toward your goals. We also explore two forms of motivation: External and Internal. Enjoy External motivation, but live through Internal motivation.
lesson three: pain
We talk about “Pain” and discomfort as a critical part of positive transformation. We teach that the pain you’ll experience during your change is nothing compared to the pain you may feel if you decide to stay in your current situation.
lesson Four: the seven e’s
The Seven E’s represent the way thoughts enter and affect your mind. You’ve got to stop the negative thoughts at the first E, “Entrance” and, conversely, you need to nurture the positive thoughts all the way through the final E - “Enveloped”. Our thoughts become our words. Our words become our actions. Our actions become our habits. And our habits define who we are.
lesson five: visualization
“Visualization” - seeing it and achieving it. Think of an image on a puzzle box to illustrate the idea of having a picture of what you’re reaching for. If you cannot visualize where you want to be at the end of your journey, then the chances of ever starting that journey are slim to none. Visualize your goal and reach for it one piece at a time.
lesson six: value of time
We explore the “Value of Time”. Make a list of the six most important tasks to accomplish each day and work to optimize the 168 hours you have in each week. True lasting transformation takes time - using that time wisely and effectively creates change.
lesson seven: burn the bridge
Identify and visualize challenges that are keeping you from changing or causing you to go back to your old habits, put them on top of that bridge and blow them up! Be committed to your future self.
The second part of TOPUCU is the FINISHER Program. Here, we guide you through the process of taking an inventory of your life. We’ll break it down into sections like family, education, health, work and more. This activity leads to the creation of a Personal Mission Statement for your life. We’ll get to the core of who you are and help you lay out specific, positive statements about yourself that will keep you motivated and on track to being the best person you can be each day.
Then we identify specific and attainable SMART Goals for every area of your life. We teach you about four types of time-sensitive goals. These goals become the ultimate key to seeing true positive transformation.

"It was phenomenal. You could just see the change. The “ah ha’s”. Little light bulbs going off. She began to ask really meaningful questions and now I have a young lady who is focused. She’s actually helping her younger brother out by saying “hey, you need to do this. Pay attention to that.” That’s just awe-inspiring. It’s just transformative."

"I am using TOPUCU with things I wanted to change in my life. Things at home. How I am with my family. How I am with schoolwork. I’m already changing so I can’t imagine what I’ll change once I get to do bigger and better things. I’m always going to remember it."

"TOPUCU teaches you the amount of heard work you put into anything impacts the payoff you are going to get. You can’t say, “I want to be a millionaire”, and then do nothing about it – just hoping it will happen. That’s not how things work. You have to put in the hard work."
