It s good for people to support their friends to stop using tobacco or not to use it in the first place. Perceiving messages critically helps people to make good decisions. It s okay to turn down an offer to use tobacco. Teacher training workshops and Training of Trainers workshops are available. One of the most important components of Get Real about Tobacco is teacher training.
Training workshops give teachers hands-on experience with the lessons and materials.
Training includes the latest information on the problem of tobacco and what to do about it. During training, participants are given the opportunity to examine their own attitudes and assumptions about tobacco and how those attitudes and assumptions might affect their teaching of the curriculum. This method allows for local, ongoing training without the need to rely on outside consultants. Preview copies of the curriculum are available.
