"Reaching Out" I nvolved in D rug E ducation R eview A discussion paper on drug education in schools from the New Zealand Drug Foundation, suggests alternative programmes to classroom-based programmes for high-risk pupils. The paper, Drug Education: A deceptively simple answer to a complex questions, by Peter Stanley, University of Waikato, Tauranga , was published in Teachers and Curriculum, Volume 6, 2003. The paper describes a quantitive and qualitative evaluation of a drug education programme in schools. It discusses influences beyond the classroom that severely challenge drug education. A case is then advanced for drug education to be seen as a primary preventative measure in a framework of graduated responses that are related to students' needs and circumstances. The paper states that classroom-based drug education is simply not relevant for high-risk pupils and that different methods need to adopted for this group of young people. For these students tertiary prevention should be made available consisting of involvement with social service agencies along with intensive, individualised interventions that cover all relevant settings such as home, school and peers and sustained over time.

82. Children, Teens, And The Drug War This despite the proliferation of zerotolerance policies and drug education, whichhas become the dominant modality for teaching our children about drugs http://www.drcnet.org/gateway/kids.html

DRCNet home join us news speak out ... druglibrary.org Children, teens, and the drug war Today, thanks largely to Prohibition, the access it affords and the culture it engenders, America's kids are using drugs at younger and younger ages. This despite the proliferation of "zero-tolerance" policies and drug education, which has become the dominant modality for "teaching" our children about drugs and their dangers. We can all agree that kids, especially young kids, should not be using drugs recreationally. In fact, if we can keep our children from using drugs when they are young, we can almost guarantee that they will not fall into patterns of substance abuse later. Since it is clear that we cannot be with them all the time, the question is how we, as adults, can help them to make healthy choices in their lives. Right now, the vast majority of America's kids are taught some version of the D.A.R.E. program. Developed by the Los Angeles Police Department, D.A.R.E. sends police into the schools to talk to kids, primarily grade schoolers, about the dangers of drugs. But D.A.R.E. has been criticized for several reasons. First, critics contend that D.A.R.E.'s message that "all drugs are extremely dangerous," without differentiating between substances, is overly simplistic. Once kids discover that marijuana, for example, is often used by people, older peers perhaps, without dramatic negative impact on their lives, they tend to disregard D.A.R.E.'s warnings about much more dangerous and addictive drugs. Second, critics argue that the D.A.R.E. curriculum sends the message that all use is abuse, further oversimplifying the realities that kids will face in the world around them.

DRCNet home join us news speak out ... druglibrary.org The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in public schools is our nation's most prominent and visible attempt to educate young people to resist drug abuse. It reaches over 60% of elementary school children in the United States, and is far and away the most prevalent drug education program in use today. This site provides information and views on the DARE program not readily available through DARE or any official source. This page is not sponsored or endorsed by "DARE America," and we do not purport to speak for DARE. We hope parents will consider the following information when deciding whether or not their child should participate in DARE. Hopefully, school administrators and public officials will find this site a helpful source of information when deciding whether to rely on DARE for the important purpose of educating young people to resist drug abuse, justifying the significant sacrifice of academic time and public revenue.

Information for Parents on the National School Drug Education Strategy July 2000 Introduction Dr David Kemp Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs Dear Parent, Our children are precious and we want them to have a safe place in which to learn and grow. We expect schools to be safe and healthy – and, of course, most of the time they are. But drug-taking among young people can make school a less safe and healthy place for all students, whether they use drugs or not. My reason for sending you this pamphlet is to let you know what is being done in schools across Australia to prevent drug abuse by young people and to help those who do get into trouble. All the Governments of Australia – the Federal Government, and all the State and Territory Governments – are working together on a National School Drug Education Strategy, for which my parliamentary Secretary, the Hon Trish Worth MP, has responsibility. One of the most important parts of that strategy is to encourage parents to become partners with teachers and family doctors in helping young people avoid drug-taking altogether, or treating those who are taking drugs. The school is important, but it isn’t just up to the school. It’s up to us all.

Families and Friends for Drug Law Reform committed to preventing tragedy that arises from illicit drug use On Reinventing Drug Education, Especially for Adolescents Rodney Skager, Professor Emeritus Graduate School of Education and Information Studies University of California, Los Angeles Paper prepared for the 2 nd Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I was both honoured and surprised on receiving Geoff Munro’s invitation to speak at this conference. Honoured for reasons that should be obvious. Surprised, because according to a recent international study my country scored highest among Western nations in rates of teenage marijuana use. In other words, what can be learned from a nation in which one third more adolescents smoke weed than do their teenage peers in laissez-faire Holland? Please understand that in what follows I am speaking about the situation that prevails in my own country. That things may be better here in Australia, or that I am arguing for policies that are already accepted here, I freely admit. Substance use has for a considerable time been normalized among mainstream American adolescents. The concept of normalization goes beyond mere statistics. It speaks to the

Farthers and Drug Education Pilot Project (2001-2002) Investigators Ms Shelley Beatty Dr Donna Cross Dr Bruce Robinson Mr Greg Hamilton Dr Phyllis Prout Project Coordinator Tanya Cunningham Outline and Rationale It is widely recognised that alcohol, tobacco and other drug use is adopted during the formative years of childhood and adolescence and that during this time the involvement of a father or father figure is an important factor. Therefore the provision of effective drug education programs for fathers of young adolescents has the potential to reduce drug-related harm in the community. The Fathers and Drug Education pilot project is a one-year Healthway Starter project. The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of developing communication strategies that actively engage fathers/father figures in the drug education of their high school-aged children. This project builds on previous research conducted by the WACHPR with the Parents and Drug Education Project (hot). Benefits of the Project Potential benefits from this project include the:

Help Monday, May 24, 1999 Published at 13:36 GMT 14:36 UK Drug education project under fire The trip to Amsterdam is a "reward" for completing courses Schoolchildren will visit Amsterdam's cannabis cafes this summer as part of a controversial police project designed to educate them about drugs. Bob Haynes: "Education works" When they return from the Dutch city, the teenagers from Berkshire will give presentations to younger pupils. The project came under fire in April but had been going for two years, after being launched by a Thames Valley Police schools liaison officer, Bob Haynes. He said the visit to Amsterdam was a "reward" for youngsters who had completed a weekend residential and evening course about the effects of drug taking. 'Position of knowledge' "Through their involvement in the project the children learn all about the different ways of taking drugs," Mr Haynes said. "This means they are in a position of knowledge if they are asked about a particular form of solvent sniffing, for example. If necessary, they can advise on a safer way, thus minimising potential harm. "Eventually, the more people know about drugs, the more they will understand they are not an answer to their problems."

Drug prevention education is more than teaching the facts about drugs it is teaching children and youth about themselves, what is possible in their life now, and what is possible for the future. How the subject is taught is at least as important, and perhaps more important, than what is taught. Because many parents do not talk with their children about the dangers of drug use, educators are often left to fill the void. Teachers can help students learn the complete story about drugs , balancing the misinformation youth generally receive about drugs from their friends, the street and the media.
