Resiliency & Prevention Programs
Safe and Drug-Free Schools & Communities
Coordinator, Louise Barbee
925.942.3385
Drug and violence programs are essential components of a comprehensive learning support system that supports academic achievement for all students. Comprehensive coordinated, effective drug and violence prevention programs help communities create safe, drug-free schools where the climate is conducive to the achievement of high standards for all students. SDFSC provides for linkages between schools and communities and encourages community-wide strategies in support of comprehensive drug and violence prevention. The Contra Costa County Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective drug and violence prevention programs.
Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program (TUPE)
Coordinator, Louise Barbee
925.942.3385
The purpose of the TUPE program is to reduce youth tobacco use by helping them make healthful tobacco-related decisions through tobacco-specific educational instruction and activities that build knowledge as well as social skills and youth development assets.
Collaboration with community-based tobacco control programs is an integral part of program planning. The school, parents and the larger community must be involved in the program so that students will be aware of a cohesive effort and concern for their health and, consequently, their ability to succeed in school. The Contra Costa County Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective tobacco education programs.

School-to-Career is a K-18 school reform initiative that promotes changes at the classroom system levels. In the classroom, teachers use project-based learning, service-learning and other instructional strategies that engage students, require in-depth investigations, have a "real world" audience, bring relevance to the curriculum, and develop necessary skills that students will need for the future.
Learning is both rigorous and relevant. School-to-Career also encourages students to engage in work-based learning opportunities, such as job shadows, internships work site visits, career speakers and other opportunities that connect the knowledge and skills students are learning in the classroom with those they will need to be successful in college and careers. The Contra Costa Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective School-to-Career programs.
