At least 30% of my students - at an alternative school for at-risk high school students - are already parents or about to become one for the first time. Our text book would be excellent for a different population, but falls miserably short of my students' interests/needs. And am NOT encouraged to approach sex ed from any sort of expectation that they're sexually active. Any one else out there with similar challenges?
COngratulations on the grant. How do I obtain aome of these resources that you mentioned?

I sincerely hope that middle schools are having a problem with students being sexually active/pregnant. Sorry - should have gone on the 9-12 board. Mea culpa!
What does it take to be a Health teacher? Is it an area totally seperate from science? I am certified to teach biology. I've seen schools advertising for a bio/health teacher. I'm wondering if that is something I should consider in the future.

Health certification is different in every state. From my experience, health is its own subject. However, most schools lump health and PE together. I think you should look into it further. Contact your state department of education for information on certification. You may have enough college credits to obtain certification in health. Best of luck!
Please help! I am a high school health teacher looking for ideas to decorate my room. We have a new building , so I am only allowed to decorate the bulletin boards.
Any bulletin board topics/ideas?
The themes I will be beginning with include general health/ wellness, lifestyle choices, decision making, risky behaviors and tobacco.
Hello! I am doing my student teaching next semester in Health Ed. I had to take a health methods class last semester and we all had to create a bulletin board of our own! Mine was "Sun Safety" And I listed off dangers, cancers (pictures) ABCs of cancer, and safety procedures.
I cannot remember the titles of the other ones but all you have to do is break down a unit and find something in there to use. Like physical fitness, health foods, bones, muscles, emotional wellness,...hope some of this helps...??

I am thinking of becoming a health teacher in High School and/or college (have a B.A. Exercise Physiology). I am wondering if there is a demand for health teachers? ANY other comments welcome!

NOPE! I am student teaching next semester in health ed. In one of my classes this semester our teacher handed out this paperback booklet that listed in order the field demands. What was second to last on the list in almost every state?....HEALTH! What was VERY last? PE...so there you go. This booklet by the way was a 2007 version. Sorry to dissapoint. Goodluck. If you need it for any reason I can get you the name of it... Jess
I was wondering if any of the specialist teachers use a behavior management system with their classes. This year in addition to my reading and math I will also be teaching Health. If so,What do you use?
Hi, My name is Ting-Fang Hsu. I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Indiana University Bloomington.

I'm enrolled in a credential program and looking for a student teaching placement starting Feb. 2008. The teacher and principal will receive a stipend from the university. I'm looking for a placement in Southern California, preferable San Diego.

You do not place yourself, your school places you in an internship.
I am interested in taking the Praxis to add Health to my certification in secondary ed. and would like to find a current high school level textbook to study from. Does anyone have suggestions of texts they use, or ones they've seen? Thanks!
