Course Textbook: Prentice Hall Health

Course Description:

Health is a course that will guide students through the many dimensions of wellness. Students will develop skills needed in confronting difficult situations; understand health prevention and promotion techniques that will establish a solid personal health education, and become health literate in making positive and healthy decisions.

Instructional Philosophy:

The textbook and an array of supplementary resources and technology, including a variety of different instructional components will be used to enable us to meet the needs of every student at every learning level. All students are expected to participate in all class activities including working independently, in small and large groups, and in class discussions.

Major Course Goals:

In recent years the term health has acquired a much greater significance. It no longer means simply an absence of sickness but refers to well-being of the body, of the mind, and of relationships among people. The word wellness is used for this comprehensive concept of health and we will be using a health textbook that will address these things with your son or daughter.

Everyday students are confronted with important decisions about how to maintain their health. They need to be well informed enough to make decisions. They must also learn to act on this knowledge. To achieve this goal, we will be teaching and reinforcing life skills that students need to weigh their options and to make responsible decisions that promote a healthy lifestyle.

Major Course Projects & Instructional Activities:

Along with the textbook, chapter quizzes, chapter tests, class work and homework, we will be using the Teens Talk Video Series to help make health relevant to students. The videos support every chapter in the book and will stimulate classroom discussion of the content and help develop the skills essential to successful health education.

High School Student Transcripts include the GPA, Class Rank and Numerical Average.

Attendance: The state would like for students to only miss 6 days of school per year, this is a negative reflection on our school report card. We will home visits if you exceed the 6th day.

School Wide Tutorial: Tutorial days will be held on Wednesdays.

Passes-The teacher to whom a student is assigned for a period is responsible for that student. Students are not to be allowed to leave class without a hall pass. Teachers must use the standard pass forms, which can be obtained from the Principal’s office or the main office. Only the teacher issuing the pass and the person to whom the student reports should enter all information required on it.
