Teacher Resources

Next to parents and guardians, teachers have the largest possible influence on a student’s life. Your unique role in the classroom can be a positive source of accurate information about substance use and the dangers associated with it. Together, both educators and parents can send a consistent message about the power of prevention and delayed use of alcohol and other substances.

APC offers Classroom-based Education for Kindergarten – High school. All of the lessons are offered at no-cost to schools throughout Central Alabama. To learn more about these offerings, click HERE.
