Profiles of Successful Drug Prevention Programs, 1988-89. Drug-Free School Recognition Program.
Office of Educational Research and Improvement (ED), Washington, DC.
The Drug-Free School Recognition Program is a competitive evaluation and award program that acknowledges those public and private elementary and secondary schools with successful substance abuse prevention or reduction programs. Strategies and activities utilized by the 47 winning schools, which underwent an extensive nomination and review process, are highlighted in this report. Effective prevention strategies, or "indicators of success," are as follows: recognition and assessment of drug problems; clearly defined, enforced, and publicized policies; comprehensive substance abuse education curricula; staff development; and student, parent, and community involvement. A table depicting the outstanding components of each program is included, and individual programs are described in separate entries. The entry for each program provides: the "indicators of success" found to be especially outstanding in this program (e.g., teaching drug prevention); demographic profile--grades, enrollment, percentage of low income group, percentage of minority populations, and percentage of whites; brief narrative description of the program; and information concerning the contact person. 1987-88 program winners, 1988-89 steering committee members, and 1988-89 program review panelists/site visitors.
