Schools

problems on their own. But they also open the doorway for other, sometimes illegal drugs. The thinking is that a 10-year-old who sees’ cigarette smoking as acceptable now may see marijuana use as acceptable in five years, and cocaine use as acceptable in 10 years. “If we can delay the first use (of a gateway drug),” Mrs. Lanie explained, “we improve the chances of not having a serious problem.” THE CURRICULUM is currently being taugnt in all three GCSC elementaries by Mrs. Lanie and Jan Evans. Mrs. Lanie has received 21 hours of training to become a trainer, while Mrs. Evans has completed the course work necessary to become a presenter. Through their twice-weekly, half-hour lessons, Mrs. Lanie and Mrs. Evans are trying to improve the bonds between the children, as well as between the children and their school, Mrs. Lanie said. They hope to replace the negative feelings that can lead to drug use with positive feelings for friends and for class. YOUNGER CHILDREN are taught lessons in the importance of asking polite questions or saying please, while older students are taught to find out what a person wants before deciding to go someplace with them. All of the children learn social skills, receive boosts to their selfesteem, and study problem-solving skills. “We teach them to look at things positively and without degrading themselves,” Mrs. Lanie said. The ideal the teachers want their charges to keep in mind is: “They should take care of themselves first, and if they can keep a friend out of trouble, that’s great,” Mrs. Lanie said. “They can’t change others, but they can take care of themselves.” AND SOME OF the students come to class already armed. Several of Mrs. Miller’s fifthgraders knew that a recent laundry detergent ad that has a dog sniffing out dirty laundry still in a clothes dryer was rigged. They just

couldn’t figure out how. But after talking about it with Mrs. Lanie, they found several ways to rig the ad, including putting food in the one dryer you want the dog to sniff out, or putting a brightly colored box on one machine while leaving all of the others plain white. It all relates to drug use through the idea of refusal skills. If the children can learn to think of ways to get a dog to sniff one certain clothes dryer, then they can think of ways they are being enticed into under-age smoking or drinking. As they learn that the dog was not really sniffing the dirty laundry, they can learn that alcohol, cigarettes and drugs do not really do for you all that has been said. THOSE MESSAGES are coupled with details on the damage those substances can do, along with positive feelings about school and friends. And it all comes at a cost of about $1 per student, Mrs. Lanie said. The curriculum was brought to Putnam County by Dee Owens, drug education coordinator for the West Central Indiana Education Support Council. It is currently being used in the GCSC and the Cloverdale schools, while North Putnam and South Putnam are planning on implementing it, Mrs. Lanie said. “We are teaching the children to think of the consequences of their actions,” Mrs. Evans said, adding they want the children to refuse the activity, but not the person.

One option for students is classroom instruction in job-related skills. Vocations classes taken at the secondary level, serve as an elective, as well as assisting the student in the establishment of good work habits, skill, attitudes and work experiences. Counseling and discussion sessions are also available to assist employed students with job problems. In addition, simulated work activities are often set up to practice many of the techniques and principles taught in the class. Another option for students might be job shadowing instruction. This program is available to younger students and places students at a job site for one day to view firsthand what the job is like. Internship training programs are also available for students to gain experience, train on an actual job, and work under the supervision of an adult. This exploratory program allows the student to practice the principles that are taught in the classroom, while being closely supervised by the school.

choose the community job experience option. This program cooperates with employers within the community in placing students in paid positions within the local job market.

Another option for students is classes offered through Putnam County Area Vocational School. Several programs are offered and are considered by the Case Conference Committee to students who qualify.

The goal of these programs are to help accomplish these dreams for students with learning difficulties.
