This strategy is part of the “W.I.T.S.” program that has been taught in the district for years, but new lesson plans will help teachers incorporate the W.I.T.S. message into their language arts and fine arts courses. The W.I.T.S. project also involves the development of videos and comic books featuring “WITSUP the Walrus” and his cohorts who are all involved in advising children on how to deal with aggression issues. The W.I.T.S. project is introduced in the classroom by an uniformed police officer in a 45-minute session. The police officer returns monthly and is always available as a resource for questions or problem solving.
