Description: Seven of eight health education standards are skills standards, whether you use the new Consensus Standards or the draft SHAPE Standards. The profession has made the shift from teaching what students should know about health to what they can do about their health.
Now we need to focus on how to teach and assess skills. We need to be more specific with teachers about how to approach our diverse health skills:
Standard 2: Analyzing Influences
Standard 3: Accessing Valid and Reliable Resources
Standard 4: Interpersonal Communication
Standard 5: Decision Making
Standard 6: Goal Setting
Standard 7: Self Management/Practicing Healthy Behaviors
Standard 8: Advocacy
This session is grounded in the concept of teaching with the end in mind. We will use a new, free resource, “Teaching Health Skills.” This is a set of tools, one for each skill standard, that walks through the process of teaching each skill. The tools are so new that you will be one of the first in the country to see them. While the tools were developed by the Consensus group that developed the 2022 National Health Education Standards, they can be used by anyone (state, district, organization) no matter what standards you are using.
We will be hands-on using the Teaching Health Skills tools. The key to engaging students in health skills is for them to practice skills using real-life scenarios. We will be examining scenarios for each health skill, analyzing how to create a scenario assignment for students to elicit a specific health skill. We will then look at how to use them for assessment purposes.
Learning Objectives: As a result of attending this PD, you will be able to:
1. Describe steps for creating effective skills-based lessons.
2. Explain the importance of using real-life scenarios when teaching health skills.
3. Demonstrate how to create a scenario that can be used for assessing health skills.
