This site is YOUR resource. After a detailed needs assessment and literature review, the site was designed by
knowledgeable university-based curriculum specialists assisted by experienced classroom teachers so
that it will work effectively as a flexible classroom resource. The site has been fully tested by classroom
teachers and evaluated by teachers, students and a university-based evaluation team.
This site consists of seven units:
- Inquiring about Alcohol
- Alcohol - Mind and Body
- Why Do People Drink?
- Sticky Situations
- My Home Town
- Knowing Myself
- Educating Myself and Others
You can use as many of these units as appropriate to your situation. The units are modular and do not need to
be used in any particular sequence. Here is an overview of all the Learning Outcomes
of the seven units to help you choose which units are appropriate to your students' learning needs and the curriculum in
your jurisdiction.
We do, however, recommend that you do two things at the outset:
- take the students on the site's Guided Tour, then
- use the Inquiring About Alcohol unit.
Turn the page for some suggestions for you to consider when you plan how to use this
site with your students. Take these suggestions
as a starting point and tailor them to the needs of your students and the technical facilities in your school!
