coordinated school health model: role of health education
Definition
- Regardless of the audience and setting in which it is provided, health instruction should be consistent with the recognized definition of the Joint Committee on Health Education Terminology as “any combination of planned learning experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups, and communities the opportunity to acquire information and the skills needed to make quality health decisions.” In schools, health education is usually associated with health instruction provided by teachers to preK–12 students in the regular classroom at the elementary level and through designated health courses at the middle and high school levels. However, health education as broadly defined can be provided to learners through all other Coordinated School Health (CSH) program components.
