K-12 Course Goals in Health Education.

Overview & Synopsis

The document is comprised of a large collection of program and course goals developed by outstanding teachers, together with a taxonomy of health education (which serves as a table of contents and provides an overview of the topics in the subject area) and several indexes to which the course goals are coded for reference: health education program goals, career education program goals, and knowledge and process classifications. Printed in subject collections, the goals may also be grouped in and across subjects. A concept/value code provides further help in interdisciplinary planning. Concise statements of what students can know and do in the major content areas of health education and in the areas where health education relates to values education, basic education, and career education, the goals will require further development of specificity by the teacher to create instructional goals. Computerization is in process to permit retrieval by any of the codes; a measurement product is also under development. (Eleven additional collections of course goals and two introductory volumes are available from the source cited.) (AJ)
