Define the term normative education and provide an example of such a program

What will be an ideal response?


Normative education seeks to build a good administrative body for a school. This program focuses less on the environment, and more on the administration setting guidelines and behavior expectations for students. Topics addressed in these programs might include: drug use, bullying, dating, and general crime prevention. An example of a normative education would be the Safe Dates Program. It combines role-playing, classroom instruction and community activities. The goal of such a program is to change students' norms about acceptable dating practices.
