How do Lions Quest programs support the academic achievement of students?
All Lions Quest programs are flexible, designed either to be taught as a separate course or to be incorporated into traditional subjects. Since listening and communication skills are a part of each lesson, there is evidence of significant reading score improvements in students participating in a Lions Quest program. Students involved in a Lions Quest program often have better attendance, improved peer relations, and better classroom behavior than peers not participating in a Lions Quest program, because the programs support support the development of higher-order thinking skills such as analyzing, hypothesizing, problem-solving and cooperative learning. Students who work cooperatively approach learning with greater motivation, which has been found to be important for long-term academic achievement. Lions Quest also offers a 20-minute online course for students called “Reducing Test Anxiety,” which teaches stress management tools, increasing relaxation and focus while testing. Students
