About this Item

LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD.

About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive, up-to-date overview of health and wellness, with strategies for teaching health education in elementary and middle schools.

Divided into three components, this text begins with an introductory overview of the philosophical bases for health education, national standards, and evaluation methods. Part II provides students, many of whom are not majors, a basic cognitive background for health education. Part III builds on the content provided thus far in the text with a variety of activities and strategies for approaching health education in the classroom. The theme of instilling lifelong health and wellness through positive lifestyle choices pervades the text.
