The National School Resource Network (NSRN) provides nationwide training events, technical assistance, and information dissemination to assist school personnel in preventing and reducing crime, violence, vandalism, and disruption. The Core Curriculum includes seven courses, each divided into modules. In Course 1, participants are introduced to a step-by-step process for planning and evaluating programs and for bringing together the workshop learning into a series of clearly formulated recommendations to apply in their own communities. This guide, intended for participants in the first course, contains an activity/content summary for each module, worksheets, and background materials. (Author/MLF)
