Substance Abuse Prevention Education: A Curriculum Model Correlation for Elementary Levels.
Steele, Catherine
The goals of this elementary school level substance abuse curriculum guide are to decrease drug and alcohol abuse through promoting: (1) basic concepts regarding healthful living; (2) a positive self-image; (3) a family, school, and community support system; (4) decision-making skills based on individual values; and (5) effective relationship and communication skills. The guide provides a plan for integrating and correlating specific substance abuse prevention concepts, such as self-awareness, decision-making, information use, and communication, with the Troy City (New York) School District and the New York state social studies, health, and science curriculums. An overview of how each specific prevention concept might be introduced at each grade level from K-6 is provided. Charts are included for each grade level that correlate these concepts with: (1) substance abuse prevention facts; (2) concepts taught in other core courses; and (3) related resources. A program evaluation form is provided. Appendices include a list of selected drugs and their effects, sources of substance abuse information, and nine references. (JHP)
