Tobacco & Smoking Info for Teachers

Download Only Decision-Making Skills - Students who develop strong-decision making skills could be less likely to make bad decisions throughout life. This guide takes the educator through a step-by-step process for helping students come to truthful and reasoned decisions under pressured situations. Developed for use with students in grades 6-9, the program activities help students consider decisions they might face this coming year. They will learn what influences decisions, develop skills to help them make choices, and then make some personal decisions for the year ahead.
Download Only Consequences of Decisions - Kids know about consequences, especially short-term ones like getting grounded or having their phone privileges taken away. This study guide takes students in grades 6-9 through activities that help them see beyond the immediate and focus on the future consequences of their actions.
Download Only Refusal Techniques - Knowing what to do and doing it are two different tasks. While a student's instincts may warn him or her of trouble ahead, not knowing how to respond can make it difficult for him or her. This study guide offers students in grades 6-9 ways to say NO in specific situations. It helps students recognize good values and how they help them make right decisions. In this study guide, students learn to analyze the consequences of their actions in relation to family, peers and the law. The activities allow them to practice applying refusal techniques in a variety of situations.
Values - Students are willing to talk about moral dilemmas or conflicts if they are in a non-threatening environment. This study guide offers students in grades 6-9 activities designed to create a secure time and place to tackle tough issues and the decision making that accompanies them. Students begin by discussing how they currently perceive society's core values, how their perceptions can differ from those of their parents, and how this can result in misunderstandings. Further activities engage students in grade 6-9 in analyzing the role of personal values in decision making. Most importantly, this guide addresses the potent force of peer influence and how teens often develop two sets of personal values — one for friends and another for all other relationships.
Conflict Resolution - "Fight!" By grades 6 and 7, many students have become convinced that fighting is not only an acceptable response to conflict but that it actually provides the only way to maintain one's self-respect. Research has shown that students who understand the concept of conflict resolution are more likely to settle a dilemma with methods other than fighting. This study guide helps students explore the dynamics of conflict, factors that can lead to greater conflict, and ways to control anger and manage conflict more effectively.
Responsibility - Young people equate responsibility with chores likes doing homework and cleaning their room. This study guide helps the educator take students to the next level of understanding responsibility toward one's community, school and peers. As students work through the activities, they will learn how responsibility can be both an individual and group concern. This study guide allows students in grades 6-9 to exercise the decision-making skills they learned and culminates in the group developing a teen guide for making right decisions throughout life.
“I Quit Smoking Now!” is a program focused on providing guidance counselors, general educators, young people and parents with concepts and tools designed to help youth quit smoking.
