Teachers, you are in a special position to play a major role in drug prevention. School-age kids spend much of their day in the classroom, and teachers are often considered role models to children. Next to parental influence, the influence teachers can have on their students will help shape who the children will become later in life.
Parents and teachers can form a strong drug-prevention team; parents educating their children at home about the dangers of drugs, and teachers reinforcing that education through classroom activities. This web site has links to drug prevention and education resources, including lesson plans and activities for the classroom. These resources can help you, the teacher, educate your students on the dangers of drugs.
