Implementing the New SHAPE America National Health Education Standards
This interactive workshop will leave you equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the new SHAPE America National Health Education Standards. You’ll have an opportunity to examine the new themes in the revised standards through an exploration of the rationale, performance indicators, and other resources. We’ll identify how the revised standards can be used as a foundation to a skills-based health education curriculum and engage in teaching strategies you can use to integrate the health skills into your standards-based health education instruction.
After the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify key components and themes of the revised National Health Education Standards;
- Explore how health skills and performance indicators can be used to guide curriculum and instruction; and
- Outline a skills-based activity aligned with the revised National Health Education Standards.
Whether you select the half-day or full-day workshop option, you will leave with a solid foundation for crafting your curriculum aligned with the new National Health Education Standards, enabling you to take your health education instruction to the next level.
