Learning how to be healthy is more meaningful for students, staff, and parents when Comprehensive School Health Education Curriculum and Assessment Programs are in place. Next, professional development provides the backbone for a successful school-wide program involving sharing of instructional strategies and resources. Instructional strategies focus on a hands-on approach and project-based learning that involve teaching staff and students in activities focusing on content knowledge and healthy skill development.
