What is REALITY AVENUE?

Reality Avenue is an Telly award winning, innovative and engaging series of 12, half hour, violence and substance abuse prevention programs.  It was created through the vision of the Broward County

 Public School’s Office of Prevention Program’s student focus groups to ensure a fast paced, cutting edge style that would be attractive to the current generation. 

 The show’s goal of prevention is accomplished by bringing students, teachers and families together and by presenting facts and skills in a dynamic and entertaining format, with constant stimulation to the eyes, ears and mind.  This Multi-Sensory or Multiple Intelligences approach to teaching is youth directed and therefore styled to be fast paced, up-beat, energetic and modern.  But entertainment alone is not the goal of Reality Avenue, rather it is the strategy by which to educate and provide life skills. 

 Reality Avenue is accessible to all families in the Tri County area through the School Board’s broadcasting company, BECON TV, as well as the Comcast cable station.  Some topics are suitable for elementary students, but all are appropriate for middle and high students.  FCAT and Sunshine State Standard related exercises for use accompanying airings is available for teachers online.
