Fast Track: Reducing Conduct Problems and Promoting Academic, Behavioral, and Social Improvement

Fast Track is a comprehensive intervention program designed to reduce conduct problems and promote academic, behavioral, and social improvement. The program consists of seven integrated intervention components: the Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum, parent groups, parent-child sharing time, child social skills training groups, home visiting, child peer-pairing, and academic tutoring. These components take place during the school day, during 2-hour long extracurricular enrichment programs involving both parents and children, and in the home. The program begins in the first grade and continues through tenth grade, with the frequency of the supports reduced based on the assessed functioning of the students and their families.
