Over 2,600 substance abuse prevention specialists and advocates from around the country got a first look at the fresh new user-friendly materials for teachers and middle school students. The new edition, available in Spring 2013, provides schools with the same effective LST prevention approach in newly designed materials. Its exciting contemporary look and many new features include a clean new format and updated statistics; modern graphics, icons, and images; and teaching enhancements such as clearly marked time guidelines, enrichment activities, and detailed fidelity checklists. “I love the fresh new look and modern edge of the Teacher’s Manual and Student Guides,” said Darren Mattozzi, CADCA attendee and Prevention Coordinator, Lincoln County Alcohol/Drug Center in Davenport, Washington. “I really like how the definitions and key points stand out more in the student guides, and the updated Teacher’s Manual makes it quicker and easier to prepare and deliver the lessons.” Mattozzi serves five school districts and has implemented the program since 2004. Community prevention leaders converged on the Gaylord National Hotel and Capitol Hill for the nation’s largest substance abuse prevention training conference.
