"The Educator's Guide to Substance Abuse Prevention" is for
educators and other school personnel who are concerned about
student drug use and school violence. It will help them to
appreciate and use their humanity, professional skills, educational
ideals, and the school curriculum as tools for substance abuse
prevention. Teachers' concerns are addressed in several ways.
First, the text provides a guide through which they may resolve
personal and professional concerns about the commitments, limits,
and boundaries of their working relationships with students.
Second, it describes tasks that teachers can perform and mental
health issues they can address in creating classroom policies,
procedures, and rules to promote healthful learning activity in the
classroom. Third, the author summarizes and interprets research and
theory about substance abuse as they apply specifically to
educational prevention and to professional teaching
practice--arguing that classroom management strategies, learning
activities, and social interaction are a teacher's primary tools of
prevention, and showing how teachers may use these tools in any
curricular area and without direct reference to drugs.
A highlight of this text is its emphasis on helping teachers to
explore drug-related issues from within the context of their own
curricular specialties and to integrate substance abuse prevention
with the curriculum in many school subjects--including the arts,
literature, social studies, history, government, science, and
culture. Action-oriented prevention strategies based on these
content areas are suggested. "The Educator's Guide to Substance
Abuse Prevention":
*focuses primarily on teaching, learning, and prevention rather
than on information about drugs;
*helps teachers to better use what they already do, know, and are
in order to respond competently, responsibly, and with sensitivity
to the needs of their students;
*attends to the needs of teachers who do prevention work and the
needs of children who are the target of prevention efforts;
*describes student disappointment and disillusionment with family,
school, and community as sources of risk and the legitimate domain
in which teachers may serve a curative role;
*provides extensive coverage of historical, social, and cultural
issues related to substance abuse and school violence; and
*alerts teachers to the risk to children posed by extremist adult
groups, prominent negative role models, popular culture, and peer
pressure.
