The curriculum was developed in a multi-stage process.
Initially, a ten-member task force was composed of criminal
justice professionals who have extensive experience in working
methamphetamine cases. This
task force worked with the MEDFELS team in identifying content material
relevant to each of the five topical areas.
A second task force of elementary educators reviewed the proposed
curriculum and suggested changes in the original draft and developed
exercises to increase student involvement and interest. The MEDFELS team
incorporated the changes and the exercises and later presented the
revised curriculum to a joint meeting of both task forces for a third
round of feedback. The final product represents at least three drafts of the
curriculum, over fifty years of methamphetamine enforcement, and
comments and suggestions from some of Missouri’s most successful
elementary teachers. Guidance and financial support for this project came from the
late Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, Southeast Missouri State University
President Dr. Ken Dobbins, Gary Kempker, Director – Missouri
Department of Public Safety and LTC Kate Fulkerson, Drug Demand Reduction
Coordinator for Midwest HIDTA. We are
deeply indebted to our task force members for devoting their valuable
time, sharing their professional insight and for the cooperation and
friendship shared in this project.
Task Force members are: Mike
Alford, Margaret Arteme, Barbara Blanchard, Teresa Bright-Pearson, Dr.
Robert Briner, Larry Keena, Kevin Glazer, Mark Greer, Pam Jackson,
Carlos Kerley, Jr., Martin Lingle, Sandy Mudd, Lorna Mueller, Susan
Skelton, Peg Wolf and Kevin Zoellner.
