The overarching goal of the entire
D.A.R.E. program is to significantly reduce/eliminate the use of
alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) and the use of violent
behavior by young people. |
| |
|
OBJECTIVES |
|
Students will understand the
physical, emotional, social, and legal risks and effects of
alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and inhalants on their developing
brains and bodies. |
| |
|
Students will compare and
contrast the normative beliefs of peers in their classroom with
the national data about teen use of ATOD and where dissonance
emerges, revise their understandings/beliefs about how many
peers do not use ATOD. |
| |
|
Students will expand their
knowledge about a variety of positive things to do in their
school and community (pro-social behavior) that do not involve
the use of ATOD and will choose to engage in those activities
rather than use ATOD. |
| |
|
Students will understand that
refusal strategies, sound communication skills, and
assertiveness and resistance skills are and will be able to
apply them in developmentally appropriate ways in a variety of
life-like situations. |
