Project VIP. Violence Is Preventable. Level 3.
Stevens, Doug; Keller, Amy
Project VIP (Violence Is Preventable) is a comprehensive research-based program designed to help children and young adults make smart choices about violence. It emphasizes the use of student-centered approaches to help develop strategies for conflict resolution and for avoiding violence. The student book is a workbook with a number of activities; the "Leader's Guide" provides resources the teacher or leader can use to implement the project effectively. Level 3, designed for students aged 14 to 18 years, helps students analyze patterns in school and community violence and become proactive by planning and implementing a school- or community-based violence prevention program. The "Leader's Guide" contains resources to help the adult leader or teacher implement the age-appropriate activities for teens. A letter is enclosed to introduce the program to parents, and a certificate of completion is included. (SLD)
