Health education for young students focuses on what they can do to promote good health and wellbeing, making clear connections to their immediate environment and health information, concepts, skills, and behaviors. Central themes in first grade Health Education are the acceptance of personal responsibility for lifelong health, respect for and promotion of the health of others, an understanding of the process of growth and development, and informed use of health-related information, products, and services. This course is designed to facilitate alternate academic learning outcomes appropriate to the instructional needs of the student, as documented in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). This course is linked to the general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified materials.
