The ATS Connection • The Prevention Educator in each building is cross trained to assist the Social Learning Specialist in identifying and supporting student needs. • The Prevention Educator can push in to classrooms to address Aftercare/Student needs at grade levels other than 3-5.
Objectives The goals of the GRAV program are to reduce violence in students’ lives by: • Giving students consistent, nonviolent messages • Changing violent norms • Promoting a developmental asset framework • Focusing on issues that students feel are relevant • Incorporating academic standards
