Street Smarts online learning promotes the protection of children and young adults from violence, exposure to weapons and threats, theft, bullying, and exposure to illegal substances. Street safety is linked to improved student and school outcomes. In particular, emotional and physical safety in school are related to academic performance. At the same time, students who are victims of physical or emotional harassment or who are involved in the sale or use of illegal substances are at risk for poor attendance, course failure and dropout.
