This course is an introduction to the skills-based approach to teaching health education. Using PA State Health Education Standards as the foundation of a comprehensive program, this course will lay the pedagogical foundation for the art and skill of teaching health education. Students will become familiar with skill-based teaching strategies, effective questioning, the value of routines, age appropriate curriculum, the use of technology, and extended opportunities for health education within the school. An essential part of the course is the application of skills-based teaching strategies to provide lesson segments/episodes. Classmates and the "Rockets" program will be used to provide hands-on teaching opportunities.
