Middle School Curriculum
With the publication of It's Up to YOU! , the Office of State Fire Marshal is taking a proactive approach to teaching youths in middle school about the reality of fire, how the media influences their attitudes and behaviors toward fire, the physical and legal consequences of misusing fire and how to make responsible and safe decisions in fire prevention and survival. The developmental stage of middle school youths makes this an appropriate and crucial stage to teach analytical thinking and decision-making skills around fire and life safety practices.
Elementary School Curriculum
The new elementary curriculum is called What Can You Do?.
Lessons taking a “big history” approach to fire as a tool in human history are highlights of What Can You Do? An illustrated timeline and history cards to facilitate these lessons are included with the printed curriculum.
What Can You Do? is a companion to the middle school curriculum, It's Up to You!
Both curriculums emphasize personal responsibility for fire and life safety.
