Abstract

Note: This publication discussed the effects of the Child Development Project (CDP) on sense of community, prosocial development, and other student outcomes in students followed from kindergarten through sixth grade.
The CDP is a comprehensive, research-tested, elementary school-based program. CDP's mission is to: (1) Help students resist drugs, alcohol, and tobacco; (2) Create an atmosphere of trust where students and teachers treat each other with kindness and respect; (3) Nurture such values as responsibility and fairness, honesty and helpfulness; (4) Enhance conflict resolution skills; (5) Increase students' academic motivation; and (6) Strengthen family-school-community connections.

For more information on the Child Development Project (CDP), see VioPro record number 3399.
