After viewing our curriculum units, please take a few minutes to help us understand how the units, which were created by public school teachers, may be useful to others.
Alcoholism is a disease that can destroy individuals physically, mentally, and spiritually, affecting anyone close to the alcoholic. It is cunning, baffling, and powerful. As a Health/Science teacher, I encounter many children damaged by the disease. The purpose of this unit will deal with the disease itself, the genetic research surrounding alcoholism, consequences of extensive drinking with an emphasis on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and the help one can receive in the New Haven community.
This unit is designed to provide knowledge, awareness, and help for students. It can be taught at all grade levels by deleting or adding information at the teacher’s digression. It will consist of subject content, lesson plans, a student’s reading list, a teacher’s reading list, referral services, and bibliography.
