This 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' cognitive and affective skills. The materials emphasize the involvement of parents and community members and resources in implementing drug abuse prevention programs. The development of self-image and positive self-concept, communication skills, and coping skills comprise the three components of an affective model upon which this guide is based. The introductory section provides background information, e.g., curriculum evaluation, facilitator instructions, a topical outline of the curriculum, teaching methods, characteristics of early and late childhood, and an activity index. The format of the instructional units section consists of concepts, learning objectives and activities, and teacher information and resources. A preliminary materials list, worksheets, and illustrations are also included for each unit. Activities for the first grade level focus on: (1) self-image and communication skills; (2) responsibility for feelings and actions; and (3) healthy decision-making. The 14 appendices provide references on teaching methods, agencies, resources, packaged programs for health and drug education, materials of special interest to minority groups, and a chart of alternatives to drug use.
