Goals and Objectives :: Goal D

Print Version

The ultimate transfer to students' lives outside the classroom is to take action. Once students understand that they are safer and healthier without drugs and violence; when they have found examples and models encouraging them to be safer and healthier; and after they possess skills to be safer and healthier--it remains for them to act on their information, their attitudes, and their skills.

Students will demonstrate the ability to...

1. Describe the benefits of living safely and drug-free.

2. Assess personal strengths and challenges and list achievements.

3. Develop personal goals based on individual abilities and interests, including:
   1. developing individual potential
   2. staying in school and completing educational objectives
   3. contributing to school
   4. contributing to community
   5. establishing safe and healthy relationships
   6. avoiding drugs and violence

4. Use resources in the family, school, and community that help achieve goals.

5. Identify and act on strategies to help friends avoid involvement with drugs and violence.

6. Identify and participate in initiatives to reduce and eliminate drugs and violence in schools and communities.
