ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The authors wish to thank Amy Hartman, Wise as Serpents Project Manager, for coordinating the creation and collection of student and teacher surveys, thus making this evaluation possible.

Of course we would like to thank the teachers who, in addition to giving their own feedback on the curriculum, ensured that their students filled out the surveys. The feedback we received from young people who participated in Wise as Serpents courses was also vital to this evaluation.

We would also like to thank Anne Rasmusson and her sponsoring organization, the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, for her work in writing "Commercial Sexual Exploitation: A Literature Review." This paper contains useful information which has been drawn upon in our evaluation of the Wise as Serpents curriculum.
