New York State Education Dept., Albany. Bureau of Drug Education.
This revised curriculum guide, one of nine sequential manuals for elementary and secondary teachers and administrators, is designed to prevent drug misuse and abuse through activities for developing students' affective and cognitive skills. The introductory section presents the rationale for the school-community drug abuse prevention program including a discussion of the school's responsibilities, parent and community involvement and suggestions for obtaining program support; the philosophy and design of the curriculum; methods for evaluating the curriculum; instructions to the teacher; a detailed sampling of teaching methods; a topical outline of the drug education curriculum, K-12; characteristics of early and late childhood; and an activities index by grade level. The format for the instructional units consists of concepts, learning objectives and activities, and teacher information and resources. A materials list, worksheets and illustrations are also included for each unit. The activities for the kindergarten level focus on self-image, feelings, group membership, and responsibility for health. Appendices referred to in the curriculum guide are available as separate, periodically updated bulletins. (JAC)
