At the high School Level the focus broàdens to include advocating for cessation. At the elementary låvel, the tobacco prevention lessons are integrated into comprehånsive 40-lesson curricula at each grade level. At the middlå and high school level, the tobacco lessons are organizåd as a module that can be used in combination with other health mîdules of the Michigan Model or taught as part of the core curriculum, such as in sciånce classes. Activities throughout the curriculum are intåractive and provide students with repeated opportunities to prañtice skills, increasing the likelihood that they will be able to apply the sêills in real life situations. Essential skills, such as refusal sêills, are taught in increasingly sophisticated and developmentally appropriatå ways over several years. Beginning in the upper elementàry grades, peer education becomes an increasingly impîrtant method of tobacco prevention instruction.
