Health education often starts with the familiar Physical - Social - Emotional health triangle, but educators frequently struggle to convert this foundational visual into actions that resonate with students.
This session introduces CORE Health, a framework focused on building four competencies: Care for My Body, Own My Feelings, Respect Others, and Engage in Healthy Choices. Through interactive activities and classroom examples, see how CORE Health transforms lessons into hands-on, skill-based learning with communication, cooperation, and decision-making.
Designed for elementary students but easily adapted for older grades, CORE Health supports a skills-based health curriculum for all levels.
All shared strategies are low-prep and immediately usable, making them practical tools for educators.
Participants will leave with classroom-ready activities, implementation strategies, and a fresh perspective for designing health instruction that empowers students to apply skills in real life.
Take the next step - bring CORE Health to your classroom to drive transformative student engagement and lifelong wellness.
