A market leader, this book continues to be the most thorough text and resource for helping elementary-, middle-, and secondary-school teachers teach health. Students who use it in a methods class keep it and refer to it when they student-teach and when they secure a teaching position. They rely on the reliable, practical strategies and methods that the book provides, as well as on the comprehensive Curriculum Guide at the end of the book. The Curriculum Guide is an organized, sequential K-12 plan for teaching students the information and skills they need to become health-literate, to maintain and improve their health, to prevent disease, and to reduce risky health-related behaviors.
