Attending this webinar provides a valuable opportunity for educators and professionals involved in health education to deepen their understanding and enhance their practice. The session focuses on the use of a professional development planning template specifically designed to support the implementation of standards-based health education aligned with the National Health Education Standards (NHES), 3rd edition.
Participants will be introduced to practical strategies for integrating the NHES into their professional development efforts. The webinar is structured as a train-the-trainer session, which means attendees will not only learn how to apply the standards in their own instructional settings but also gain the skills and resources needed to train others. This approach empowers participants to become leaders in their schools, districts, or organizations, helping to expand the reach and consistency of standards-based health education.
Throughout the session, participants will explore the structure and content of the NHES, gaining a clear understanding of how these standards support effective health instruction. They will also receive access to curated tools and resources that can be immediately used to plan and deliver professional development aligned with the NHES. These materials are designed to save time, ensure consistency, and support high-quality instruction.
By the end of the webinar, attendees will be equipped to promote and implement standards-based teaching practices that align with national expectations. This not only enhances the quality of health education but also contributes to improved student outcomes. Additionally, the skills gained through this session can support participants’ professional growth, positioning them as knowledgeable advocates and trainers within their educational communities.
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Analyze how the use of standards-based teaching facilitates the development of effective health education focused on building knowledge and skills for implementing healthy behaviors.
- Practice designing standards-based instruction using the NHES to achieve the desired outcomes of the priority populations they serve.
Competencies that will be covered include:
2.3.4 Adopt, adapt, and/or develop tailored intervention(s) for priority population(s) to achieve desired outcomes.
2.4.2 Develop materials needed for implementation.
2.4.3 Address factors that influence implementation
