Health Education
SREB’s Powerful Health Education Instructional Practices show teachers how to design instruction and assignments that encourage students to develop health literacy skills, explore and adopt health-enhancing behaviors, and connect the health and wellness practices they learn in the classroom to their own lives and those of their friends, family and community. The practices complement any curriculum and empower teachers to improve their instruction and promote student success.
Powerful Health Education Instructional Practices
Teachers who follow SREB’s
Powerful Health Education Instructional
Practices draw on national, regional and local public
health data and other sources to identify priority health issues
for the local community. Then, the authentic learning experiences
teachers craft engage students in identifying the protective
factors, risk behaviors and health-enhancing behaviors that
influence these health issues and complete projects that require
them to problem-solve and implement changes to health behaviors
and practices at school and at home.
