Too Good for Drugs - Grade 7

Too Good for Drugs - Grade 7

Too Good for Drugs for Grade 7 lays the groundwork for drug-free living through a fun, interactive journey of setting reachable goals, communicating effectively, making responsible decisions, building positive friendships, and refusing negative peer pressure.

In “Let’s Make a Friend,” students help the new student, Vanessa, choose a friend with the most healthy friendship qualities out of a pool of three candidates. Survey says that students who associate with others with healthy qualities are more likely to avoid risky behaviors, make healthy decisions, and stay focused on reaching their goals.

Students join Al K. Hol as he learns the consequences of alcohol use and realizes his misconceptions about alcohol cost him a spot on the baseball team and the respect of a girl he really likes. Students examine the four stages of addiction as well as the negative health risks associated with the misuse of prescription and OTC drugs. Students also examine alternatives to substance use and participating in other risky behaviors as they apply healthy strategies to overcome obstacles and handle life pressures in the game, “Goal for It!”

Home Workouts and cross-curricular activities follow each lesson so students can practice and apply the concepts developed in each lesson at home and with their peers.

The Too Good for Drugs Grade 7 Curriculum Kit is available in two sizes.

  • Standard Curriculum Kit - for classrooms of up to 24 students.

Lessons Overview                      RTI / PBIS Alignment              Lessons Sample

Comprehensive prevention education.

Too Good for Drugs is a universal violence prevention and character education program that promotes the development of the skills, attitudes, and behaviors consistent with positive, pro-social living to encourage healthy emotions management and actions, resistance to peer pressure and influence, and self-awareness and social awareness to foster a drug free lifestyle.

Too Good for Drugs offers developmentally appropriate curricula for Kindergarten through High School. Each grade level builds on previous levels developing the skills sequentially with engaging, age-appropriate lessons and activities.

Mitigates risk factors and builds protective factors

Too Good  focuses on the risk factors and negative social norms that can be positively affected in the classroom: favorable attitudes toward substance use, violence, and other problem behaviors and friends who engage in problem behavior.

Too Good  builds protection within the student by:

  • Providing opportunities for pro-social involvement
  • Establishing positive norms including healthy beliefs and clear standards
  • Promoting bonding to pro-social peers
  • Increasing self-efficacy and interpersonal skills

Strengths-Based Skills Development

Too Good for Drugs introduces and develops self-efficacy and interpersonal skills linked with healthy development and academic success to promote self-awareness and social awareness:

  • Setting Reachable Goals
  • Making Responsible Decisions
  • Identifying and Managing Emotions
  • Communicating Effectively
  • Bonding with Prosocial Peers

Additional skills and developmental topics build on the core social skill set to broaden the student’s sense of self-efficacy and confidence and are tailored to the intellectual, cognitive, and social development of the student. 

  • Media Literacy and Media Influence
  • Resisting Peer Pressure
  • Understanding Peer Influence
  • Understanding Addiction
  • Complex Social and Dating Relationships
  • Exploring Risk Taking and Differentiating Healthy and Unhealthy Risks

Substance use and its effects on the body are introduced when developmentally appropriate. More complex discussions are introduced at the Middle School level and progress in depth as the students mature.

  • Safe Use of Prescription and OTC drugs
  • Effects of Nicotine Use including ENDS
  • Effects of Alcohol Use
  • Effects of Marijuana  and THC Use
  • Effects of Street Drugs including Opioids and Stimulants

Develops Core Character Traits

Too Good for Drugs promotes character development by strengthening nine character traits:

  • Cooperation
  • Responsibility
  • Self-discipline

Understanding the Logic Model

The Mendez Foundation developed Logic Models for Too Good to map out the Theory of Change and demonstrate graphically the assumptions that drive Too Good. The logic model communicates an "if-then" message of what changes the program intends to produce. It helps to make the connections among the target group, goals, strategies, objectives and planned program results and lays out what the program is expected to achieve and how it is expected to work.

TGFD Logic Model

Research Design

Each of the Too Good evaluation studies were conducted by third-party researchers and used randomized treatment-control group designs (pre-test/post-test, 20-week post-test, or one-year follow-up). The Researchers examined pre-test equivalence between treatment and control groups; potential bias of loss of student data over time; quality of program implementation; and estimates of reliability and validity of assessment tools.

The award-winning Too Good programs have undergone rigorous, independent evaluation studies to measure their effects on students' skills, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. Studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national evaluation conferences. These studies demonstrate the effectiveness of Too Good.
