Lasting five years, CMCA is a randomized community trial involving seven intervention communities and eight control communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Unlike many prevention efforts, which rely on experts to diagnose problems and direct their solution, CMCA locates the capacity to solve problems within the community. CMCA features community organizers working with citizens of all ages and from all sectors of the community to develop strategies for healthy and safe communities. Also, rather than educating youth on how to resist an environment that encourages them to drink, CMCA seeks to change those environments that encourage underage drinking and contribute to alcohol-related health and social problems. Altering the environment involves changes in many policies and practices regarding alcohol.

By changing the environment that makes alcohol so readily accessible and so glamorous, a community can reduce the degree to which young people are encouraged and allowed to drink alcohol. Ultimately, by addressing consumption of alcohol among youth, communities not only reduce car crashes, violence, injuries and other health problems, but they discover and develop capacities to address a wide range of issues.

Other: CMCA is related to youth in several ways. Broadly, the project seeks to reduce youth access to alcohol, and thereby reduce youth alcohol use, in order to improve community health. Secondly, and perhaps more significantly, CMCA involves the youth themselves in public problem solving around alcohol. This both ensures more appropriate solutions and provides a civic education to sometimes 36 COMMUNITY PRACTICE PROGRAM COMMUNITY TRANSITION INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE (CTIC) TECHNICAL Sponsor ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Health Sciences: College of Veterinary Medicine: Department of Small Animal Clinical Science and Sponsor Veterinary Teaching Hospitals College of Education: Institute on Community Integration Funding Sources College of Veterinary Medicine (Dr. Boynton is a Funding Sources faculty member) Minnesota Department of Education

Description This study examines children's understanding of what causes people to experience different emotions. Within the last few years, a number of cognitive appraisal theories of emotion have been proposed. These theories claim that certain assessments lead people to feel specific emotions. For example, when a person perceives that an event is novel, counter to goals, and something with which they cannot cope, the person is expected to experience fear. There is strong evidence the predictions offered by these theories are supported for adults. However, these theories have not been tested for children.

This research examines whether children can identify the emotions of story protagonists who make specific appraisals. It also examines the stories that children tell about their own emotional experiences. With increasing age, children are expected to increase in their ability to associate specific combinations of appraisals with specific emotional states.

This is a first step in a program of research that will ultimately address aggression. One major goal of society is to teach children NOT to engage in antisocial behavior in response to their own or others negative emotions. An effective means of doing that may be to work with the cognitive appraisals that lead children to experience different emotions. As a critical step in that direction, we need to know when children are aware of the thoughts/appraisals that give rise to different emotions. The next step is to look at how to use appraisals/thought in preempting aggressive behavior.

Goals Provide the social scientific community, teachers, and administrators with information addressing; 1) the developmental progression of awareness of the thoughts that give rise to specific emotions; and 2) whether children communicate information about their cognitive assessments in stories. 60 EXPANDED FOOD NUTRITION EDUCATION "EXPLORING" • BOY SCOUTS OF PROGRAM (EFNEP) AMERICA

Date Initiated Oct. 1993

Description Last fall a federally funded National Language Resource Center was created within the CARLA program at the University of Minnesota. Among its several research projects is one that concerns language immersion at the elementary and secondary levels. It is coordinated by Dr. Helen Jorstad of the Dept of Curriculum and Instruction and includes these University faculty on its Steering Committee: Prof. Andrew Cohen (Dir., Inst of Ling. and Asian and Slavic Langs. and Lits.), Prof. Elaine Tarone (ESL, Inst. of Ling. and Asian and Slavic Langs. and Lits.), Prof Diane Tedick (Dept of Curriculum and Instruction), and Prof Connie Walker (Dept. of Curriculum and Instruction).Among the research questions being addressed and procedures being used by the Elementary/Secondary unit of the NLRC Language Immersion Project are the following: 1) The degree of cognitive flexibility and openness to speakers of other languages exhibited by children in language immersion programs; 2) The extent of native versus target language use by teachers and children in immersion classrooms (characterized in terms of language functions and grammatical forms) and differences in language use in teacher-student interactions as opposed to deskwork interactions; 3) The effect of teacher modeling of the target language in science and math problem-solving upon students' performance in cognitive operations; 4) The effect of a forced output treatment on grammatical accuracy in the oral language of fifth­ grade immersion students; 5) Techniques used by immersion teachers to identify problems they face during second-language instruction and ways of resolving the problems. Additionally, we will build on existing master lists of immersion programs at all levels in the United States, making them part of a GOPHER network and adding information about immersion teacher preparation programs throughout the U.S.

Description The Political Tolerance Curriculum Project involves the development and testing of a high school social studies curriculum unit Faculty from the Departments of Curriculum and Instruction and Political Science collaborated with public school teachers to develop Tolerance for Diversity of Beliefs, a six-week curriculum unit designed to engage secondary students in actively exploring issues associated with fre.edom of belief and expression. Case studies, role playing, simulations, and mock interviews are used throughout the curriculum to examine the historical, psychological and sociological dimensions of tolerance and intolerance. The Elk River and Minneapolis school districts piloted the curriculum in 1990-1991; approximately 900 students participated in the Project. Analysis of the pre- and post-tests indicated a statistically significant increase in students' level of political tolerance. The testing further revealed some of the cognitive and affective variables associated with adolescent political tolerance. In 1992, the curriculum was revised in accordance with the pilot teachers' recommendations and suggestions. The curriculum is currently being published and distributed throughout the country by the Social Science Education Consortium (SSEC) in Boulder, Colorado.

Goals 1) Develop a secondary curriculum on political tolerance; and 2) Enhance our understanding of the cognitive and affective variables associated with adolescent political tolerance.
