Extractions: January 31, 2002 2002-R-0140 STATE MANDATES FOR DRUG AND HEALTH EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS By: Judith Lohman, Chief Analyst You asked for a summary of state mandates for drug and health education in public schools. SUMMARY State health and drug education mandates on public schools consist of requirements to include specific aspects of these subjects in the regular elementary and secondary curriculum. Schools must teach students about these subjects in a systematic manner, they must do so every year and in every grade, and they must use legally qualified teachers. The law also requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to provide curriculum materials and guides to help local school boards develop the required programs. School districts must offer in-service training on these topics to certified school personnel and teacher preparation programs must train teachers in how to provide the required instruction. DRUG EDUCATION Curriculum Requirement All Students Each Year In-Service Training HEALTH EDUCATION Curriculum Requirements AIDS Education In-Service Training In addition to the drug-related in-service training described above, school boards must provide an SBE-approved in-service training program for teachers, administrators, and pupil personnel that, among other subjects, includes information about:

What a winter! As a life-long native Washingtonian, I've never seen so much snow and such cold temperatures. I trust you have been keeping warm and bundled up while making your appointed volunteer rounds. Even in this time of national uncertainty, the needs of our clients remain, as must our determination to meet the many challenges of our work. But no matter what the weather is doing (or has done) the promise of spring beckons - and soon the snow will be gone and the dogwoods will be in bloom. Springtime in Washington is a time of great hope and joy. And speaking of joy Rolling with those changes As I mentioned in previous editions of The Spirit, our volunteer program is now going through some significant changes as we move into compliance with the Clinic's accreditation process. Please remember to refer those who are interested in volunteering anywhere at the Clinic to our General Orientations. All of our GOs are held on either the first or second Tuesday of the month, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Austin Center in 1407 S Street NW. Our GOs now include a mini-training in our personnel policies and procedures, which all volunteers must thoroughly understand for compliance in the accreditation process.

Extractions: click here for Vol. 8, No. 2 The University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) is a four-year, traditional residential university campus with a community population of 2,631 students, faculty, and staff. Even though UMF is recognized nationally as a public liberal arts institution, over half of the two thousand full time students are matriculated in the College of Education, Health and Rehabilitation, with most hoping to pursue teaching careers in elementary, secondary, early childhood or health-related fields. In a USA Today survey of the nations largest colleges and universities, other academic leaders across the nation lend their support for similar smoke-free initiatives. "This is a policy grounded on clear and concise medical data," said Mary Rouse, University of Wisconsin at Madisons Dean of Students. "There are more serious life consequences from smoking than anything that I could dish out as dean. Its the duty of the college to continue teaching these lessons. If it takes banning smoking, I have no problem with that" (Davis and Fowler, 1999).

Extractions: Sessions One and Two should take place as soon after the intake meeting as possible. It is essential to complete the assessment/orientation and start treatment while patients are motivated. Therapists should be flexible and willing to schedule these early sessions at any time that is compatible with the patient's schedule. Prior to these two sessions, as with all sessions, therapists should prepare by completing a therapy session checklist. Outline a Treatment Plan Prior to Session One, therapists should begin to develop a tentative treatment plan (exhibit 12) using the information collected during intake. The final working version of this plan, however, should represent active collaboration between the therapist and patient. It is important that patients be involved in this process and that they agree to the goals and methods. Achieving cocaine abstinence is always the primary focus of the treatment plan. Thus, the plan should target areas for change that are directly related to cocaine use, are likely to decrease cocaine use, or will reduce the probability of relapse. Areas for change typically fall into the following categories: other drug use, vocation, family relations, social relations, and recreational activities. Psychiatric, legal, medical, financial, or housing problems deemed likely to interfere with achieving or maintaining cocaine abstinence should also be considered.

The study took place in the prison library. The subjects, who included drug users and non-users, were brought in groups of 10 and told that they would be participating in a scientific experiment which aimed to explore the causes of drug misuse and that the results would be confidential and used only for scientific purposes.

Extractions: Pathological Trance and Addiction Dennis R. Wier Director, The Trance Institute, Bruetten, Switzerland I make an assumption about what is desirable in life, and I should state it explicitly. I assume that a robust life is a life of variety and wide options, and that an impoverished life is a life with few options and little variety. Life naturally contains limits and limits help to restrain chaos and thus to free a certain kind of energy. Although there are many people of the opinion that all limits are bad, I feel that limits alone are not bad, in fact, limits are necessary to empower creativity. However, certain types of strict limits in life seem to imply the presence of a pathological state or at least delusions about lack of personal power. There is a delicate balance between the limits which empower personal growth and the limits which crush human spirit. One way to find this balance is to realize that within any personal psychological reality there is a set of changing stimuli and response potentials. A behavior is a pair of specific stimulus with its response and a behavior results in a new stimulus which joins other stimuli in creating the personal psychological reality. Theoretically, the responses that may exist for a given set of stimuli can be counted. The number of such potential responses is often thought of as the "richness" of a person's life. A relatively low number of potential responses or options indicates a relatively impoverished reality.

Manmade catastrophes, like the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and biological weapons scares in following weeks, remind us of our vulnerability to forces of evil and aggression. When AT Forum addressed these issues about 5 years ago,[1,2] only 59% of clinics responding to a survey had disaster plans of some sort. These primarily dealt with natural disasters, such as weather emergencies, earthquakes, floods, or fires. Only a few had considered manmade crises, mostly bomb threats or riots.

Extractions: Lisa Gorman Ninety percent of smokers begin smoking by the age of 19. Nicotine is considered the number one entrance into other substance abuse. Adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who smoke daily are 15 times more likely to use illicit drugs than their peers. Substance abuse is a learned behavior. Teens who begin smoking learn to use the substance. The earlier youth begin using tobacco, the more likely they will continue use into adulthood. Why is tobacco use addicting? The nicotine in tobacco acts as a stimulant, depressant, or tranquilizer depending on the dosage. An individual builds up tolerance to tobacco use, requiring larger doses to maintain a certain physiological effect. When the body becomes accustomed to the presence of nicotine, it then requires the chemical to function normally. This level of dependence is referred to as an addiction. Teens who are addicted to tobacco have several common experiences. A number of them tried their first cigarette in the sixth or seventh grade. Smokers often do not perform well at school. They do not feel they are a part of school and are isolated from those students who are active in sports. Most of the smokers feel they have little hope of going to college or getting a good job after high school. They also report addictions to other substances, such as alcohol. They experience pressure from home and school, and use tobacco as a form of relief. In addition, teen smokers enjoy trying to hide their smoking or outwit school administration. This has made school more fun for some tobacco users.
