Information and Resources for Middle School Teachers
GSAHEC's A.T.T.A.C. program offers an abstinence-based,
anti-tobacco curriculum tailored to 5th-8th grade students. We
train health professions students from local colleges and
universities to
deliver this lesson plan, which has been been approved by the
Florida Department of Health. The lesson plan is revised and
updated each school year in order to maximize the impact we can have
in preventing youth tobacco use in our local communities.
The A.T.T.A.C. Program meets many needs in the middle school classroom:
