Participants will learn how to provide a virtual and/or face-to-face professional development session to K-12 teachers on the Characteristics of an Effective Health Education Curriculum.  

A synthesis of effective programs and curricula, with input from experts in health education, has identified Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricula.  This synthesis emphasizes teaching functional health information (essential concepts); shaping personal values that support healthy behaviors; shaping group norms that value a healthy lifestyle; and developing the essential health skills necessary to adopt, practice, and maintain health–enhancing behaviors. Less effective curricula often overemphasize teaching scientific facts and increasing student knowledge. 

This multi-component guided virtual workshop will provide attendees practical examples of how these Characteristics can be reflected in the health education classroom.  Participants will also have the opportunity to practice teaching a variety of these Characteristics and prepare to deliver a virtual professional development session on the Characteristics of an Effective Health Education Curriculum to K-12 Health Education teachers.

Objectives for Day 1 and Day 2 

  1. Describe a variety of uses of the Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT) to create an effective health education curriculum.
  2. Describe the goal of health education.
  3. Describe how to apply the Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricula.
  4. Conduct a professional development session for state/local teachers of local districts on the Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curriculum.
