EDUC 638 - Health Education for Teachers

1
Develop a foundational understanding of health education and the role as a general education teacher in providing a supportive and healthy learning environment. This course addresses the California requirements for comprehensive school health education: finding and presenting reliable, trustworthy health information. The ten content areas within the CA Health Content Standards and the four components of Health Literacy are evaluated as students incorporate these concepts into the design of grade-level appropriate intergrated lessons. The lessons are a demonstration of their abilities to evaluate current student needs, identify health goals, formulate learning objectives from state-adopted academic content standards, and plan instruction utilizing various models of teaching.
