The content of the Social Responsibility (SR) curriculum provides you with SR topics, concepts and activities. Three on-line activities are on-line for your use. Two activities are for individuals who wish to explore and document their intentions and actions related to Social Responsibility. The third activity is a curriculum input form for teachers to share activities they are implementing in their classrooms.

For Students: Select one of the SR Topics. From the list of concepts and activities, create a list of questions that you will use in interviews with your parents, teachers, neighbors, community members, and peers.  From these interviews determine levels of valuing and involvement of each group.  Analyze this information and develop your personal action plan for implementing your involvement with SR issues.

For Parents:
Review the content of each topic. Evaluate your personal intentions and involvement in each of the activity areas. Create a list from your evaluation. Discuss this list with your children.  Develop a family action plan that encourages active involvement of all family members. Through this process, parents will be able to heighten the awareness and involvement of their children in issues related to social responsibility.

For Counselors: Review each of the SR topics. Select the topics, concepts and activities that can best be applied to your existing guidance and counseling curriculum. Incorporate these ideas into your program activities. Assign students to create a group action plans for moving these concepts from intention to action.

For Teachers:  Many of these topics, concepts and activities of the SR curriculum relate easily to existing subject areas. Use these concepts as a guide for more conscious integration of SR related activities into what you teach. Review the input form for sharing SR classroom/community activities. Use this form as a template for creating activities.

A Final Word: As we enter the 21st century, we will be witnessing many cultural and technological changes. As we participate in this change process, we need to know who we are and what we value. Hopefully, the SR curriculum will help you with this process.
