Developed over three decades of implementation in a wide range of
schools, this research-validated curriculum focuses on teaching students to
be reflective, nonimpulsive, and responsible decision makers and problem
solvers—while emphasizing essential literacy skills. It is ideal for classroom
use and can be adapted for small-group settings.
The program uses a variety of cooperative learning methods, including
small-group brainstorming, problem-solving, and role-playing activities.
Students learn skills such as self-control, listening, respectful
communication, giving and receiving help, and working cooperatively and
fairly in groups. The manual and accompanying CD include numerous
reproducible worksheets.
SDM/SPS influences student behavior, academic learning, and social and
emotional life. It promotes a multicultural perspective by building group
cohesion, acceptance of differences, and the ability to understand different
points of view.
SDM/SPS has been recognized as:
- an Exemplary Evidence-Based Social-Emotional Learning Program by
CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning)
- a Statewide Model Program for Substance Abuse Prevention by the New
Jersey State Department of Education
- a Promising Program by the Expert Panel, U.S. Department of Education
Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
- an Exemplary Evidence-Based, School-Based Learning Program by NASP
(the National Association of School Psychologists)
Separate volumes of the SDM/SPS curriculum are available for grades 2–3
and 4–5. As an ideal extension of the elementary curriculum, the authors have
also written an SDM/SPS manual for working with middle school students.

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.
