Georgia Meth Project and Georgia Department of Education Offer Lesson Plans on Meth Abuse

Beginning this week, Georgia educators will have access to a new teacher-led classroom resource.
It’s designed to educate middle and high school students on the dangers of using methamphetamine.
It’s called the Meth Prevention Lesson Plan.
The addiction recovery rate for meth use is extremely low, says Georgia Meth Project Executive Director Jim Langford.
“We’ve seen only about a five or six percent success rate in getting meth addicts off of the drug. So, it’s very highly addictive and highly dangerous.”
And that’s why the organization is teaming up with the Georgia Department of Education and offering the Meth Prevention Lesson Plan to all state educators.
Langford calls it a set of intense and structured teaching tools that is mostly web-based.
“It has about 3-hundred and 60 pieces of content and we’ve seen where kids will stay on the programs for sometimes 30 minutes or hour on their own; playing with some of the games, learning some of these things, hearing vignettes, and hearing personal stories.”
The Meth Prevention Lesson Plan is free and also available to home-school educators, church youth groups and boys and girls clubs.
Lesson plans can cover one day or three days of classroom instruction.
