Our first discussion focused on WHAT needs to be taught for health education by using the California Department of Education Standards. This discussion focuses on HOW to do it. Much of what we do is learn from others and from resources!! Your book, classes like this, the internet, there are so many resources to give you ideas. This assignment is to help you use resources to integrate the concepts from chapter 5, 6 and 7 while we continue to work with the CA Standards.
Find an activity you would use to infuse the CA Education Content Area of Mental, Emotional and Social health (MSE) into a curriculum. You can pick a topic from Chapter 6: Family Relationships, Friendships, Sexual relationships/Abstinence, Marriage, or Parenthood or get inspired on your own. Pick a topic that is age related to your students, or the students you wish to teach. Use this link to help you find ideas. Mental and Social Health Lesson LinkLinks to an external site. Adjust the ideas to make them your own. DO Not just cut and paste or you will not get credit. A one paragraph short description is fine!
Include the Standard from the CA site for the grade you chose ( https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/healthstandmar08.pdfLinks to an external site. ) in your write up.
2. Next, do the same showing how to integrate an activity or the concepts of Growth and Development. Be specific, don’t just say, “I can integrate growth and development into biology.” Again, use the chapter for ideas. This time, however, find your own resource to share. You must share the link where you found inspiration. Like the above, have the grade level (content is growth and development) and list what standard it meets for your grade level.
This should look a lot like Discussion 1! Now you are just showing where you can find ideas for areas. BOTH parts should have the below:
Content Area: (first will be mental, emotional and social health and the second will be growth and development)
Grade level: (Make sure you pick a grade that has M,E,S Health and GD as a content area. You focus on different ones in different grades)
Standard: Get used to always referencing this: https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/healthstandmar08.pdfLinks to an external site.
Activity:
Source: (I gave you as source for M.S, E Health to you in part 1, but part 2 needs this from you! Provide the link or page in the book.)
YOU SHOULD HAVE 2 PARTS! ONE FOR MSE HEALTH AND ANOTHER FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
