2. OR, TEACH WITH A PROGRAM CREATED FOR THE # OF WEEKS YOU TEACH:
If you don’t have 70 or 80 days to teach the lessons included your grade level program, I have created 4 time-framed programs you can use! And yes, that’s 4 programs for EACH GRADE LEVEL!
This way, you don’t have to decide which lessons to cut, or figure out how to add lessons to meet the days you teach! These are the 4 program time frames:
-6 Weeks
– 9 Weeks
-12 Weeks
-18 Weeks (Includes 10 lesson extensions)
- Since scheduling can be crazy at the middle/junior high school level, this program is FLEXIBLE!! And, as long as you use Level 1 with your youngest students, Level 2 with your middle age students, and Level 3 with your oldest students, this program will work for as many weeks as you teach your students-there is a sequential program for you!
- Jumbled schedules, odd days of the week Health class, even days of the week, 4 days on-2 days off, alternating with P.E. classes…??? Doesn’t matter. As long as you stick with your grade levels and use the sequential level programs, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!
- Even if you teach for 8 weeks instead of 9, use the 9-week program and cut out 1 week of lessons.
THIS PROGRAM IS FLEXIBLE FOR YOUR EVER-CHANGING TEACHING NEEDS!
_______________________________________________
-
Each “Ready-to-Teach” lesson program contains: Full step-by-step teacher PDF teacher directions, lessons, and documents, and a PDF PowerPoint presentation that walks you through the lesson for each of these teaching lines. “Student Docs Only” are also included to save paper when printing!
—————————————————————————-
-NOTE: This Middle/Jr. High School Health program is not meant to be purchased with the High School Health program for use in the same school district! See additional info below.
**This Middle School Health program is not created to be consecutive with the High School Health program.
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 consecutive, scaffolded lessons ranging from middle to high school, with no lesson repetition. (I don’t have this posted on this website yet-the link will take you to my TPT store!)

I have been using this resource with my 6-8 Health students. This resource is amazing! Units are leveled to fit each grade level. Activities are engaging — students are actually excited to participate. Content is appropriate. Thank you so much! (Transcribed from MsITM TeachersPayTeachers)
ahealthteacher (verified owner) –
Wonderful packaged bundle. The topics thoroughly cover everything and more regarding things that should be discussed during the middle school years. The outlines and options of timing were so very helpful and guided you to know exactly what should be taught when and with what. The corresponding standards were detailed and laid out to ensure that they met with State standards and the powerpoint presentations were engaging as well! Thank you. (Transcribed from Jennifer W. TeachersPayTeachers)
