High Quality Teaching and Learning Health Education Program The teacher is: Teaching health education for the required amount of time (i.e., 80 minutes/week). Focusing on all the outcomes in the provincial health education curriculum. Addressing all dimensions of health (i.e., physical, mental, emotional, spiritual). Establishing cross-curricular learning opportunities, where possible, to strengthen health understandings and skills. Supporting informal learning opportunities and connections to children’s lives. Using anti-oppressive and developmentally appropriate learning strategies to allow all children to see “themselves” and their families.
Teaching and Learning Health Education The teacher is: Treating health education as less important than other Required Areas of Study. Teaching health education that does not adequately focus on all provincial health education outcomes. Focusing solely/primarily on one dimension (i.e., physical) of health. Teaching health education in isolation, without connections to children’s daily lives. Promoting only one way of knowing (e.g., ethnocentrism).
