NIDA Goes Back to School honors National Teacher Day
May 5th, 2009 • Category: NewsClasses are almost over, but parents and teachers can still supplement student studies. In honor of National Teacher Day (May 5), the NIDA Goes Back to School campaign—an initiative from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)—is providing teachers with FREE, interactive, and science-based resources and activities to keep students learning throughout the summer.
NIDA, part of the National Institutes of Health, has created a health education campaign to keep students, parents, and educators engaged all year long. Now in its seventh year, the NIDA Goes Back to School campaign is the source for FREE publications that teach students of all ages about the consequences of drug abuse.
Students can journey through the brain and body to learn about the effects of drug abuse. Parents can get tips on talking to their children about the dangers of drugs. And teachers can enhance classroom activities with colorful handouts, informative magazines, and student and teacher editions of new publications.
And there’s more! NIDA adapted its materials to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking populations. The Institute offers a variety of FREE Spanish-language materials for students, parents, and teachers.
