Principle #2: Goals & Objectives, written by Judi Kosterman, Ed.d

Last issue we discussed inviting the community into your prevention programming process by creating a community advisory council. Now we take a look at the second part of Principle #2 of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools' Principles of Effectiveness.   After gathering community partners into the process, you need to determine what are the goals and objectives of your prevention program.  Kosterman shows how to determine what your goals and objectives should be through lessons learned from business leaders.
