A Skills-Based Health Curriculum
Every aspect of this health curriculum was created to provide health teachers with easy-to-use, relevant, and engaging teaching materials. Here's an overview of what's included:
It comes with over 135 engaging and relevant health lesson plans so you can profoundly impact student well-being, which have been optimized for the digital classroom!
A teaching instruction video and written instructions for every single health lesson plan, so you don't need to spend any extra time planning and prepping (Repeat: No. Extra. Planning.).
Teaching PowerPoints for each lesson to help guide students through the activities.
Student worksheets as PDFs and Google Slides.
Digital learning activities like Google Forms (learning stations) and Boom Cards! Anything that needs printing also comes with a Google Forms, Google Slides, or Boom Card option.
Grading rubrics for quick and meaningful assessment, so you don't have to spend countless hours grading papers.
An answer key with teaching examples for every lesson to help you share powerful examples with your students.
Free updates (as long as you have a valid license, you have access to new updates and additions!)
Decorating made easy! This curriculum comes with beautifully designed classroom posters - - Dimensions of Health, Components of Fitness, the F.I.T.T. Principle, S.M.A.R.T. Goal, "In this classroom...", Growth Mindset Bulletin Board, and Tips for Living a Thriving Life.
The Project School Wellness Approach
The Project School Wellness approach to health education is not your everyday health class. We go beyond the old school physical health-only approach to teaching health. We're not focused on getting every kid to run faster miles and memorize dietary guidelines (not that those are bad goals). Oh no, we've got our dreams set on something much bigger - empowering every student to thrive!
And at Project School Wellness, we understand that thriving doesn't come from just being physically healthy! You see, we wholeheartedly believe that health is multidimensional and that the dimensions are interconnected! This means that students must understand and learn how to strengthen and sustain each dimension of health (Not. Just. Physical. Health.).
I know it sounds like heavy stuff. But don't worry, we've got you covered! This health curriculum comes with everything you need to establish a meaningful skills-based health education program (see above).
Skills-Based Health Education Creates a Lasting Impact on Well-Being
Our curriculum is grounded in skills-based health education philosophy. This health curriculum kicks off with an introduction to total health (Get this module for free!) and each of its dimensions. As they progress through each level, they are introduced to more complex and detailed elements of the dimensions of health, common health issues, and the health skills.
This teaching framework helps empower students to build sustainable health and happiness by helping them master vital health skills and functional knowledge!
