ABSTRACT
This guide is intended to help teachers implement the
prescribed outcomes in the Program of Studies for Health and Life Skills,
Kindergarten to Grade 9
(2002). The goal of the program is to enable students
to make well-informed, healthy choices and develop behaviors that contribute
to the wellbeing of self and others. After describing "Program of Studies,"
the guide includes: "Comprehensive School Health" (e.g., integrated approach
and determinants of health); "Establish a Positive Climate" (e.g.,
communicating with parents and building healthy school cultures); "Plan for
Instruction" (e.g., organize instruction and offer choice and variety);
"Instructional Strategies" (e.g., cooperative learning and portfolio
development); "Assess, Evaluate and Communicate Student Learning" (e.g.,
assessment strategies and calculating achievement marks); and "Illustrative
Examples" (e.g., sample learning activities, sample assessment activities,
and teacher planning tools). Three appendixes include teacher planning tools
(e.g., sample letter to inform parents of human sexuality instruction and
tips for community resource people); student information masters (e.g., bike
safety and basic first aid); and student activity masters (e.g., idea builder
and research record).

study.
