Elementary Teachers' Attitudes, Perceptions and Practices towards the Implementation of a Violence-Prevention Curriculum: "Second Step"
Ableser, Judith
Journal of School Violence, v2 n4 p81-100 2003
This ethnographic study's intent was to understand and interpret elementary teachers' evolving attitudes, perceptions and practices towards non-violence curriculum, the "Second Step" violence-prevention program, and a project model utilizing consultants to implement instruction. Findings included that the curriculum was not implemented as intended and that there was a wide range of attitudes and practices reflecting difference in knowledge, cultural experience, and acceptance of the program and project. Recommendations for the future use of violence-prevention curricula are presented.
