There will be two asse...See MoreI have been invited to attend a Faculty Candidate Assessment workshop to be considered for a Faculty position in the Health Science field. I am confused as to what I should present on and is asking for any type of suggestions. My discipline is Health Education/Health Science....Here's the actual wording on the invite
There will be two assessment activities. The first involves your making a 10 to 12-minute presentation on a subject related to your discipline and professional experience. The presentation is made to a small group of assessors and other faculty candidates (each group to contain 5-8 people) and is meant to simulate an actual classroom. You are asked to identify your objective, engage the participants demonstrating your best facilitation skills, and bring closure to the process within the allotted timeframe. We ask that you please conduct your presentation with Power Point, as we would like to witness your ability to engage participants and motivate them to actively participate in the learning process. A whiteboard will be provided for your use, and you may provide handouts if you choose. The second activity involves candidates participating in a short leaderless group activity.
Please help as I am a new comer and is open to all suggestions from current professionals. Thank you in advance for your assistance!!
My name is Allie and I'm working with the American Heart Association on their new "Be the Beat" initiative. It focuses on fun ways to educate tweens and teens on the basics of CPR.

I wanted to see what you all think of the site and the lesson plans/materials. Is this something you would utilize in your classroom? Do you think your students would be interested in learning this material? I have a classroom's worth of AHA swag/goodies that I can give away to one random responder as a "thanks" for your input.
Thank you in advance. AHA and I really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you so much for your response! Your feedback is good to hear and very helpful. I'd love to send the AHA swag to you for your students. I'm going to private message you for your address, but if for some reason it doesn't go through, feel free to email me at alliew[at]fanscape.com.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and thanks again! Allie

I am looking for the lesson plan or directions on an acitivity that I heard about to teach the Decision making steps in Health class. It uses 2 pieces of paper that are cut (partially) into strips and woven together. Does anyone have this, or know where I can find it?
My idea is to have the leadership kiddos evaluate what foods are offered in the school's cafeteria. Students already know it's not healthy for them and they also know it doesn't taste good to them as they complain all the time. I'd like them to evaluate this food using colors, pictures, calories, fat, carbs. etc. The next step I was thinking I would have them do is investigate the government's website myfoodpyramid.gov to see what the governments suggests for healthy consumption. Have them compare the school's lunch menu to the suggested healthy consumption by the gov. All the while they are keeping a food log of all the food they are eating for the week. Lastly, I want them to take all of their learned knowledge and evaluate my eating habits. (There is a reason for this and it's based on my relationship with the kiddos). Finally, I want them to create a healthy school lunch menu taking into account what they eat at home for nutrition. (My guess is that the school's lunch provide too much when added to what the kiddos are eating at home. Thus, ending them in how to make good decisions. For instance, if they are forced to eat the school's lunch, what do they have to compromise at home so they are not getting too much of the unhealthy amount. If they are not willing to compromise (like me with my chocolate chip cookies from Subway) how are they going to make good health decisions while still eating foods that might be considered unhealthy, etc.
If you have ANY input, to enhance this lesson or to make me think about, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also, if you have any web information that you'd like to share to make this project better I'd appreciate that as well.
By the way, these are high honor roll 7th and 8th graders in the class with all parents on board for anything I ask the kiddos to do.
