About Us
Dave Carey, the founder of MPC has a BA, MA, a clear California State Teaching Credential, is qualified to teach English Language
Learners (ESL) in the mainstream classroom (CLAD Certification through Pearson Evaluation Systems) as well as students with
learning disabilities (LD). He is currently enrolled for a second Masters' degree at California State University at Fresno in
"Educational Leadership and Administration." This concept is the focus of his studies.
Dave was "Teacher of the Year" for Fowler High School as well as Fowler Unified School District as a whole for the 2002-03 school
year. Fowler is located 10 miles south of Fresno. He is presently Chairman of the Industrial Technology Department at the school
where he currently teaches - this is the largest school in the 4th largest school district in California, where he fully implemented
this program as his "pilot school."
2012 marks the 13th year this program has been in development.
Making Positive Choices is dedicated to helping individuals make positive changes in their lives. This is accomplished by promoting
the four central themes of "Work Ethic," "Self-ownership,” the guiding principles of "The Top Ten Pillars of Character
Education," (Core Values) and the acceptance of one another through "Tolerance." The use of this concept and related
materials creates focus on the development of Self, Career (work), Core Values, Unity and Tolerance, and overall positive growth.
It is Making Positive Choises hope that you will embrace these concepts and materials and find greater success with your
students, faculty, staff, overall Administration, and other individuals. We think this is the most straightforward vehicle available for
focusing students on their potential, improving unity within the student body of your school, while causing overall improvement
within the lives of each student. All components of this program are interlaced with one another - hence, we are not a company
that sells third party materials
Dave further believes that while academics are a huge component of a student's education, personal and social development is
necessary as well and needs to be taught within all schools.
The sale of our "Support Materials" is what allows us to spread this concept.
