[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Health A (semester 1):
Students explore health information in the following content areas: mental and emotional health; alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (substance abuse prevention); personal and consumer health; family life and human sexuality; safety and injury prevention (safety and violence prevention); nutrition and fitness (healthy eating); and disease prevention and control. Students develop lifelong health skills such as analyzing influences; accessing information, interpersonal communication skills, decision making, goal setting, self-management; and advocacy for personal, consumer, and family health throughout the course.

Health B (semester 2):
In this course, students engage further with health promotion concepts. The goal of this course is to engage more through health literacy skill development to promote and support health-enhancing behaviors. The health literacy skills include analyzing influences of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors; accessing valid information; using interpersonal communication skills; demonstrating ability to use decision-making and goal setting skills; practicing health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks; and advocating for personal, family, and community health. Health Education aligns with Be Well 365 by emphasizing lifelong positive health-related attitudes and behaviors that promote self-reliance and self-regulation for all students.
