The Massachusetts Anti-Vaping Curriculum Resource Guide for Schools is a statewide, evidenced-based, adaptable, developmentally appropriate curriculum on the impact of vaping on student health and wellness for grades 6-12.
A curriculum committee, composed of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, developed this Curriculum Guide. This conference will revisit this important document, providing updated information about vaping and implementation of “boots on the ground” anti-vaping curriculum and resources that have been developed and refined.
“Preventing teenagers from taking up vaping is a major challenge, and this conference will help keep educators abreast of the most recent developments in our statewide efforts to help teens protect their health from the threats that vaping poses,” said Director Daniels.
