Expectations from the State:
Students will demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to
enhance health.
- Students list the steps of a decision-making process which enables them to collaborate with others to improve quality of life. Decision-making skills are needed in order to identify, implement and sustain health-enhancing behaviors.
- Identify health-related situations.
- Identify when assistance is needed for health-related situations.
How we will implement:
- As we at EWSC have a concern with the overall health of our students. We also realize that equipping students with tools to make healthy choices will affect not only their physical bodies but will be all encompassing.
Overview of implementation:
- Students will keep a journal that records what they have eaten for the day, how much water intake, exercise, and what they have learned in health.
- Students will also study how movement affects all areas of their body, not just physically. Science has shown that cross-lateral movement helps students academically as well as physically.
- Students will understand that communication is a critical part of an overall healthy person.
- Everyday choices that a person done can have life-time effects.
