Developed over three decades, this research-validated curriculum is an
approved Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. It focuses on teaching skills
that will enable students to be reflective, non-impulsive, and responsible
decision makers and problem solvers while emphasizing critical thinking
skills. SDM/SPS impacts student behavior, academic learning, and
social/emotional life. It promotes a multicultural perspective by building
group cohesion, acceptance of differences, and the ability to understand
different points of view. The activities build skills such as self-control,
listening, respectful communication, how to give and receive help, and how to
work cooperatively and fairly in groups. The program uses a wide range of
cooperative learning methods, such as small-group brainstorming, problem
solving, and role-playing activities. Includes assessment tools for tracking
progress. An accompanying CD of all the reproducible forms and student
handouts is included with the book. |
