Student Planner
Curriculum Reinforces Character-Building Skills
| “Good character is showing your
best…even though no one is watching.” – |
| Nicole, 10th Grade |
Delivered on a daily basis via interactive student planners,
Coole School offers the only research-based, curriculum embedded
in a student planner.
Documented as scientifically accurate by the Center
for Substance Abuse Prevention, Coole School’s research-based
program includes pre/post-testing and evaluation components.
The student planner and education support program benefits
the students, parents and teachers in a variety of ways:
- Enhances "protective factors" and moves toward
reversing or reducing known "risk factors" by teaching
drug resisting skills, promoting personal commitments against
drug use, and strengthening communications, peer relationships,
self-efficacy and assertiveness skills.
- Reinforces what children are learning, such as facts about
tobacco and bullying and their harmful effects…creating opportunities
for family and caregiver discussions
- Builds life skills by promoting problem-solving, decision-making,
resistance against adverse peer influences and social and
communication skills
- Reaches the intended audience daily and repeatedly throughout
their school career.
- Delivers appropriate, age-specific and culturally sensitive
messages.
- Pre-tested and approved by officials, administrators, and
counselors to be "scientifically accurate”, conforming
with public health principles and policies and appropriate
for the intended audience" by the Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention.
This program has appeared in the resource libraries of the
National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information and
the Texas Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
