Stops Along the Way

As you progress through each module of the Dangerous Decibels Program, key messages (from the Dangerous Decibels ProgramGuide) are highlighted in blue boxes with key icons (shown below). Each one is critical to include in the program delivery. There will also be content explaining how to tailor the program for your audience and how to maintain relevance for your community.

Think of the Dangerous Decibels program as one complete story, that starts with “What is Sound” and ends with “Rock Your World”. This will not only help you remember the sequence of the Dangerous Decibels program modules, but it will also keep the students engaged and excited to learn about what comes next in the story line.

Transition statements are provided between each of the Dangerous Decibels program modules to help link the previous content to the next part of the program. The transitions are critical to connecting the “story” from beginning to end.

The first transition statement occurs between the Introduction and the What is Sound? program modules. It looks like this:
