EDUT 5110 Health Education-Lifelong Wellness
Health Education for Students' Lifelong Wellness
The quote, “If you have your health, you have everything,” has never felt more true. Now more than ever, we understand how children’s health impacts their capacity to learn in school, and also their prospects for a happy and successful life. We’ve created this course for all educators who teach health–whether you’re an early childhood educator, a classroom generalist, a dedicated Health and/or Physical Education teacher, or a school nurse. Because you have different needs depending on students’ ages and your professional role, we’ve created pathways with options to suit every educator! You will learn strategies to support students’ physical, mental, and social-emotional health as you empower them to care for their own. Through the exploration of health and wellness resources, you’ll discover ways to collaborate, advocate, and build students’ motivation to pursue healthy habits. You’ll also learn instructional strategies to facilitate safe discussions of sensitive topics in your classroom. And, we’ve provided tips throughout the course to help you prioritize your health, too!
