Veterans Against Drugs
manual
The goal of this program is to establish a mentoring relationship between a veteran and students which will last throughout the school year. The program consists of six regularly scheduled visits approximately four to five weeks apart or which fit the student's schedule. The veteran will make direct contact with the school principal. Once this communication takes place and participating classrooms are identified, each veteran and teacher will meet to schedule the six visits. By scheduling in advance, the classroom teachers will be able to plan their introduction of each lesson.
This manual contains a lesson outline for each of the five scheduled classroom visits. Each of these lessons corresponds to the Veterans Against Drugs Core Values and should be taught in sequence.
REMEMBER TO RELAX, ENLIST THE TEACHER'S SUPPORT WHEN NEEDED, HAVE SOME FUN, TALK TO THE STUDENTS, AND GUIDE THEM THROUGH EACH LESSON.
