Supplemental Lessons

Additional lessons for elementary and middle school programs are being/have been developed. The use of these lessons is voluntary.

They do not replace or substitute for the regular lessons contained in the elementary and middle school curricula format now in place. The supplemental lessons are in addition to the regular curricula based on community need. These lessons can also be used as "stand alone" lessons. Most supplemental lessons will also include a middle and/or high school component. Officers MUST be certified in each supplemental lesson.

	Lessons are obtainable through the State Training Center.
	The instructional content (supplemental) will be integrated into DOTs.
	Mandatory content and instructional techniques for the supplemental lessons will be required at all State D.A.R.E. conferences for current D.A.R.E. officers.
	Supplemental lessons currently include:

- Role Modeling
- Bullying lessons
- Gang lesson
- Meth
- Internet Safety
- Community

A significant addition to the elementary curriculum is the "Family Talk" take home letters. These are designed to be used with specific lessons and to encourage conversation in the home regarding drugs. They can be downloaded in the "Officers Only" section of this site.
