| Description: |
A research-validated curriculum that focuses on teaching students to be reflective, non-impulsive, and responsible decision makers and problem solvers - while emphasizing essential literacy skills. The programme uses a variety of cooperative learning methods, including small-group brainstorming, problem-solving, and role-playing activities. |
| Synopsis: |
This manual is an approved Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. It presents a thoroughly tested and effective approach for helping students succeed in middle school. At this critical point in their lives, young adolescents can move in a positive and hopeful direction, or they can enter into a negative, downward spiral. SDM/SPS provides students with basic school survival skills and strategies for responsible decision making and problem solving. It is designed for use with a broad spectrum of learners, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders. Helps reduce school violence, foster social and emotional intelligence, improve academic effort and attention, develop multicultural perspectives, and prevent at-risk students from giving up. Also provides strategies for encouraging parent involvement and for implementing a school-community service project. Includes assessment tools for tracking progress. An accompanying CD of all the reproducible forms and student handouts is included with the book.Awards/Recognitions SDM/SPS has been recognized as: Select Evidence-Based Social-Emotional Learning Program, CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) Statewide Model Program for Substance Abuse Prevention, New Jersey State Department of Education Promising Program, Expert Panel, U.S. Department of Education Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools Exemplary Evidence-Based, School-Based Learning Program, NASP (National Association of School Psychologists) Model Promising Program, OJJDP (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention) |
