Health Education: A Skill Based Approach
The Ohio Department of Education and Buckeye Healthy Schools Alliance are sponsoring a two day health education workshop for middle and high school health teachers. This workshop is set up as two interactive training sessions designed to teach educators to develop curriculum, teaching units and lessons plans that focus on building the critical thinking and decision making skills students need to establish good health behaviors. This development opportunity is designed as two full-day workshops scheduled 4 months apart. Participants will meet on November 19, 2010 and learn how to incorporate characteristics of effective health programs into their health education curriculum then come back together on February 11, 2011 to share the successes and challenges they experienced when they implemented the skills and strategies they learned in their classrooms. For more information about this training opportunity and to register for the workshop go to the Buckeye Healthy Schools Alliance website… http://www.bhsalliance.org/
