Building interpersonal and communications skills. DARE objectives have been achieved by training carefully selected, veteran law enforcement officers to teach the structured, sequential curriculum in schools. DARE instructors complete special training in human relations and communications skills, multicultural awareness and children's issues. They employ a variety of teaching strategies and encourage a healthy exchange of ideas and feelings in the learning process. Each semester, students at elementary schools receive DARE training.
Successful completion is based on attendance and involvement in discussions and presentations.
