ATTENTION DARE OFFICERS: New D.A.R.E. Middle School Curriculum
"keepin' it REAL" (kiR)

CLICK HERE
(for 2010 details and registration)

The “kiR” curriculum is organized as a 10-week, 10 lesson program. Each lesson requires one 40 - 45 minutes class period and is designed to promote interaction between students and officers. Fun activities are included to involve students in their learning and allow them to exercise "REAL" resistance strategies. The program’s key learning tool is a series of videos involving high school youth and based on students’ real stories. The videos demonstrate how students have used "REAL" strategies to resist drugs in real life situations. The objective of the “kiR” curriculum is to reduce substance abuse by teaching students and allowing them to practice risk assessment, decision making, as well as valuable communication and life skills.

Detailed information about “kiR” can be found on the SAMHSA National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) web sitewww.nrepp.samhsa.gov.
