| Improving Academic Success Through Health Education Skills-building |
| In the current school climate of testing and assessment, maximizing students’ potential by integrating thinking, feeling and behavior has been demonstrated in the research to contribute to academic achievement. Social and emotional instructional skills are the center of what students learn in quality health education. Health educators will learn about the importance of recognizing their own and their students’ learning styles, engage in exercises that include life skills and social competencies and understand the link between SEL in the health education classroom and greater student academic success. |
