Download or read book Health Education written by Denise Seabert and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ideas, concepts, and challenges presented in this text have developed out of many different experiences: teaching elementary and middle-level children; teaching a basic elementary/middle school health course to hundreds of pre-service elementary, early childhood, and special education majors; working with numerous student teachers; and serving on a variety of local, state, and national curriculum and standards committees. Authors and contributors are and have been engaged in teaching in K-8 settings, designing curriculum, developing instructional strategies, and collaborating with state and local educators to provide professional development. This has provided opportunities to use the content and strategies included in this tenth edition. This textbook has been written with several groups in mind: (1) the elementary and middle-level education major who has little background or experience in health education but will be required to teach health education to their students in the future, (2) the health education major who will be the health specialist or coordinator in an elementary or middle school, (3) the school nurse who works in the elementary/middle school setting, and (4) those community health educators and nurses who increasingly must interact with elementary and/or middle school personnel. Our goal is to help ensure that elementary and middle school teachers and health specialists obtain the information, skills, and support they need to provide quality health instruction to students. The new edition includes updated statistics throughout. Updates have been made to Strategies for Learning and Assessment, Children's Literature, and Internet resources. All references to YRBS and SHPPS data have been updated to include the most recently disseminated data. Additionally, Healthy People references have been updated to include Healthy People 2030 objectives. A new section, Considerations for Special Populations, has been added to Chapters 5-14 in an effort to acknowledge current issues influencing the teaching of the chapter content"--

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
