This course will focus on appropriate content, methods and materials within the Comprehensive Health Education Curriculum. Students will also review content for the 10 health education unit areas, and consider age appropriateness of content. Unit and lesson planning, active learning strategies, roles of the health education teacher, principles of lesson delivery, assessment of learning, and peer teaching will be explored. All projects are directly intended to prepare future teachers to work effectively with adult learners, high school students, and middle school students. Unit and lesson development will be based on the scope and sequence project completed by each future teacher in HES 355. A short grade 5-12 teaching practicum is included within this course. Only school health education majors may register for HES 360.
