The certificate program is tailored to educators and others dedicated to improving the lives and skills of young people. It is based on the conviction that good decision making is an essential life skill that can be taught effectively.

Better Decisions – Better Lives

Every day, young people make decisions that shape their lives. Many act without fully considering their options. Decision skills help young people make quality decisions that enable them to be more likely to succeed academically and personally.

Learn powerful approaches to:

• Incorporate decision education into an existing curriculum
• Shape school or organization direction and success
• Increase administrative ability to make key organizational decisions

• Identify and teach the essential elements of a good decision
• Work on the right problem, in the right way, with the right people
• Achieve decision quality
• Make good decisions under pressure
• Avoid the behaviors and biases that interfere with good decision making
• Teach decision skills separately or as part of an existing curriculum
• Motivate young people to learn and use good decision skills
• Create and deliver decision skills curricula to students.

• Teachers - Grades 5-12
• School Administrators
• District and School Leaders
• Counselors/Advisors
