Discovery Program
The Discovery Program is a concrete, skill-based curriculum that has the power to
create positive change in students. Through Discovery, students learn and master the
positive social skills necessary to be successful in school and in life. While Discovery
enhances the academic and personal accomplishments of all students, it works especially well for
students considered at risk. The goal of the Discovery Program is to improve student achievement
and teacher performance-and it works!
Discovery Program training provides teachers and administrators specific, hands-on instruction
and the skill models needed to successfully implement the Discovery Program in their classroom or
school. Attendees will learn through explicit activities and lessons related to each of the six units and
skill sets.
Regional Training and Onsite Training
Four-day Regional and Onsite Training sessions cover the entire Discovery Program and provide
attendees the opportunity to practice skills and receive peer feedback. By the end of the training,
participants will have a thorough understanding of the program and will be prepared to implement it.

Additional Training and Support Opportunities
- Video Instruction Series: The 13-videotape instruction series is the most economical learning
experience for ongoing implementation of the Discovery Program. Ten Program Workbooks are
also included. The videotapes feature Eric Larsen training staff from an alternative high school in Denver,
Colorado. The core units of the Discovery Program are recorded on separate tapes, allowing the viewer
to easily walk through the curriculum and the workbook at his or her own pace. To further enhance the
effectiveness of each unit, the videos also show Eric teaching the Discovery Program to his own students
at Centennial High School. Eric offers explanations to frequently asked questions before and after each video
unit.
