Faculty In-Service Workshops

Today is: May 9, 2008

The FreeWay Faculty In-Service Workshop is designed to augment the professional skills of public school classroom teachers (K-12) by assisting them with their task of training students for "safe and drug-free" living.

The workshop will introduce educators to the eight basic FreeWay life skills and explain in detail the concept of the prevention of drug use and violence through life skills training.

Participants will focus on one of these two curriculum packages available from FreeWay:

"FreeWay" K-12 drug prevention curriculum (6 volumes: grades K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, plus a resource book)
"Peacemakers" K-12 violence prevention curriculum (3 volumes: grades K-3, 4-8, 9-12)

The workshop also will focus on the results of scientific studies which have proven that both curriculum packages are "highly effective" in preventing drug use or violence among students. It will explore what works, how it works, and why.

Workshop facilitators assigned will be trained FreeWay Prevention Specialists with many years experience in public schools. These workshop leaders not only will explain the FreeWay materials and the educational theory of prevention, they also will share first-hand classroom experiences in life skills education, and they will conduct an open-ended question and answer discussion period, if desired.

FreeWay Faculty In-Service Workshops may be scheduled for either a 2-hour or a 3-hour time period. The costs of the workshops include: $100 per hour honorarium for the facilitator, round-trip travel expenses from St. Louis, including mileage (or airfare), meals, and over-night accommodations, if necessary, and handout materials at $5 per participant.
