What does DARE stand for?
The program employs the use of the D.A.R.E. decision making model in which students are provided skills to use in developing and assessing choices they make in life. Students build skills to:
D Define a problem and challenge
A Assess available choices
R Respond by making a positive choice
E Evaluate your decision
The D.A.R.E. Officers are using techniques of facilitation – gone are the days of the didactic lecture – guides students as they work in small cooperative learning groups using the D.A.R.E. decision making model to apply to real life situations.
The new D.A.R.E. elementary curriculum has been reduced to 10 lessons and a menu of enhancement lessons implemented. The enhancement lessons provide local jurisdictions the ability to customize their D.A.R.E. program to meet identified needs. Many enhancement lessons will be developed, among those currently offered are: gangs, methamphetamines, internet safety, bullying and cyber bullying. The most recent addition is the D.A.R.E. Rx/OTC (prescription/over‐the‐counter) Drug abuse materials. The D.A.R.E. Rx/OTC Drug Abuse materials include lessons for elementary and middle school, high school and community presentations.
