Indicator Instructional Focus Clear health goals and behavioral outcomes
Evidence
A backwards design approach assures that expected behavioral outcomes are achieved. In each unit, clear objectives are given and provide the basis for what will be covered in the unit's lessons. Activities, critical thinking and discussion questions are included in every unit and provide students with rich experiences that allow them to demonstrate their newly acquired knowledge. A Culumlative Project is laced throughout our course that guides students through assessing their own physical, mental, emotional and social health. Throughout the course, students work on creating a well rounded plan that includes clear health goals, understanding personal health needs and what influences their choices. Students also learn what resources are available to them so they can sustain the work they do and develop a plan for long term success.
