Here’s what buyers have to say about the #1 BEST-SELLING Health Curriculum:

 

– “You have created the best overall set of teaching lessons I have seen in 22 years of teaching! I don’t need to “re-invent the wheel.”

 

– “One of the best products I have invested in…well worth the price and then some.”

 

– “LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. So creative. So engaging. This is AWESOME.”

 

– “You saved my life, I was bored to tears teaching Health. Now it’s my favorite class!”

 

 

• ALERT*: This High School Health program is not meant to be purchased along with the Middle/Jr. High School Health program for use in the same school district:

 

*The Middle School Health program consists of many of these #1 Best-Selling High School Health lessons, so there is too much overlap to use BOTH Middle and High School programs!

 

Thus, if you are interested in using both my Middle/Jr. High AND my High School Health programs for yourself or your school district, you will want my SEQUENTIAL Middle/Junior AND High School Health Curriculum, which I designed as 4 consecutive, scaffolded programs ranging from middle to high school, with no lesson repetition.

 

 

• Do you need both Health and P.E. programs? Click here and SAVE $153.00!

 

 

Standards That This Program Meets:

• ALL Washington State Health Standards
• ALL 20 9/10th Common Core Standards
• ALL 46 National Health Standard Indicators
• ALL of the New York Department of Education Commencement High School Health Standards
• ALL of the 68 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Health 1 Standards for High School (with the exception of 4 easy-to-add topics!)
• I aligned my program to these two states to show that it’s very likely to meet YOUR state’s Health Education standards as well!

 

Facts You Should Know:

1. With this digital download, you will receive all future updates (new lessons and activities) that I create and add to this “High School Health” resource FOR FREE
2. This program is researched-based. The program meets all 15 “Characteristics of an Effective Health Education Curriculum” set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this curriculum you will find health goals and behavioral outcomes that are research-based and theory-driven.
3. This resource includes many lessons that promote social and emotional learning (SEL).
4. This is not just a unit outline. Highly organized step-by-step teacher directions follow daily PowerPoints and the directions tell you exactly to say!
5. What if you need to change a lesson? No problem! Documents and PowerPoints are editable – docs are included in both Word and PDF formats.
6. Students love this program, and students who like what they are learning are more likely to choose to actually use what they learned outside the classroom.

 

Note: This program specifically meets high school level State, and National standards, and is aligned to the 9th/10th grade Common Core Standards. Thus, this program is ideal for 9th and 10th grade students, and it has also worked well for 11th and 12th grade students who have not completed their required Health credit. Teachers of 11th and 12th grade students have found success with this program by making adaptations to meet 11/12th grade Common Core Standards.

• Does Getting Evaluated Make you Nervous?

 

-Using my own curriculum for my 9th grade Health classes enabled me to get a perfect 32 out of 32 (Distinguished!) on my “5 Dimensions of Learning” teacher evaluation.

 

-The lessons almost teach themselves!

 

-I was also given a 96% “A” grade average on an anonymous survey from my 150 students at the end of the last school year!

 

-This program makes it happen!
