EDUCATORS

Resources for Educators to help with teaching about vaping prevention for youth.

TUPE Curriculum

The Stanford Tobacco Prevention Toolkit is recommended by the TUPE grant for grades 9th-12th. The CATCH My Breath Curriculum is recommended by the TUPE Grant for grades 5th-8th. CATCH My Breath Videos were purchased for grades 6th and 7th/8th. Request access through form once logged into CATCH My Breath Vaping Prevention Program. However, all resources in both programs do have information for 6th-12th grades and can be used as needed.

Please do the Pre Survey with students prior to implementing the curriculum in the classroom. Follow-up with the Post Survey with students once lessons are completed.

You and Me, Together Vape-Free Curriculum

6 Lessons, each providing activites, online quiz games and worksheets in addition to presentations, resources, and other materials aimed at preventing and reducing e-cigarette use. 

The Stanford Cannabis/Marijuana Awareness & Prevention Toolkit

Our new Smart Talk: Cannabis Prevention & Awareness Curriculum, which is part of the Stanford Cannabis Awareness & Prevention Toolkit, is a 5-lesson theory-based and evidence-informed curriculum created by the Stanford REACH Lab as well as by our Youth Action Board, educators, healthcare providers, and scientists across the U.S.

TUPE Canvas Courses

In collaboration with the California Department of Education, the Orange County Department of Education’s TUPE Capacity Building Project has developed a variety of courses focused on effective TUPE program implementation and informative tobacco prevention resources.

CATCH My Breath

This evidence-based program was shown to substantially reduce students’ likelihood of vaping in the year following program implementation. Students also showed a significant increase in knowledge of the dangers of vaping and an increase in positive perceptions about choosing a vape-free lifestyle.
