The School District of Hillsborough County partners with the Florida Department of Children and Families, the City of Tampa, and the Mendez Foundation to deliver the Too Good For Violence (TGFV) curriculum. TGFV "is designed to develop: (a)conflict resolution skills, (b) anger management skills, (c) respect for self and others, and (d) effective communication skills. Instructional strategies emphasize cooperative learning activities, role-play situations, and skills building methods such as modeling, practicing,reinforcing, providing feedback, and promoting generalization of skills to other contexts."
