Each formula includes the Grow With Guidance System as a foundation consisting of System components: Behavior Management, Self-Talk/Self-Pictures, Staff Skills (Implementation), Student Skills (Curriculum), Family Involvement and Observation/Evaluation. The goal of each formula is to apply this innovative approach in education that develops students’ spirit, purpose, and potential.

Chemical Dependency
Schools, communities, and families can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:
The education community and societal groups do not view drug-free school programs in isolation.
Schools have an environment in which students are expected to include everyone in activities and projects.
The educational community assesses and evaluates existing programs.
Educators place personal, social, emotional, and behavioral development at the heart of drug-free school programs.

Life Lab
A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional frame of reference that can be applied throughout life.

Heroin Defined
Heroin: A substance derived from the plant, poppy flower. Found in most regions of the world, and created in Southeast and Southwest Asia, Central America and the Mideast.
Heroin comes in two forms, tar and china. Tar is usually made in Mexico, while the china (hence, “fine china”) comes from the other sections of the world in many colors, shades, and cuts.
There are many ways to use heroin, including intravenously- with a needle, smoking, using foil; “chasing the dragon”, and snorting the substance.
Many users each year overdose and die, relapse, get arrested, or stay addicted. Heroin is displayed to be a highly fashionable drug, but is not.
Slang terms for heroin are: junk, dope, smack, shot, shit, h, etc.
The onset of a heroin “rush” from a needle is about 3-7 seconds, and lasts about 3 seconds. Heroin is horrible and deadly. Believe me, please. I know what I’m saying, don’t think that it’s cool.
Addiction Information
• Articles/understanding-addiction: Addiction is a brain disease with some at higher risk – family predisposition is one important factor to teach our communities.
Additional Resources for Consideration That May Support Your Enrichment Programs for Students, Staff, and Families
Behavioral Symptoms
The more appalling behavioral symptoms of heroin addiction entail how a person treats others as well as how one treats his or herself. Heroin’s effects in the brain essentially “fry” a person’s emotions causing mood swings, angry outbursts and hostility towards others in general. Someone addicted to heroin will also tend to neglect personal hygiene and grooming practices and may not bathe or change his or her clothes for days on end.
Recent studies suggest that imaging has the potential to help clinicians determine the most appropriate level of treatment for individual patients and monitor their progress toward recovery. Paulus, Tapert, and Schuckit (2005) performed functional MRI on a group of men entering treatment for methamphetamine addiction while they made decisions during a psychological test.
Effects of Treatment on the Brain
Imaging researchers also have been documenting changes that appear to represent brain recovery in response to treatment. One group has applied MRS to evaluate the effects of methadone maintenance therapy on heroin-addicted individuals (Silveri et al., 2004).
Brain and Behavioral Disorder
Imaging studies, together with other research, overwhelmingly indicate that drug addiction must be viewed as both a disease of changed brain biology and a behavioral disorder. – NCBI Imaging and Addiction Information

International Alliance For Invitational Education (IAIE)
The comprehensive systems formula for chemical dependency prevention is integrated with the concepts of invitational education. The System includes two online surveys. The Invitational Teaching Survey and the Children’s Affect Needs Assessment, both found in the Grow With Guidance Systems Manual. For more information and materials about IAIE visit their website.
