      Great resource to use as a first year Health teacher. I wasn't real pleased with the book I was given to use to teach Health, so I looked for alternatives. I've been pleased with the ease of use of this unit and with how engaged the students were.

      When I took on teaching a health elective, I wasn't really sure where to start but these units from Health Education Today are fabulous! The lesson plans helped give me an idea of pace, the topics were relevant and the assignments well planned. Thank you for such a great resource.

      I love this no prep purchase. I always prepare my lessons on a weekly basis BUT I always forget about health. I literally had 10 minutes before my lesson and this download was a life saver. I would recommend reviewing a day or so prior because the file were a bit confusing BUT all else this purchase was a TRUE life saver and it is very versatile.
