Context: I planned, designed and taught a health lesson on families during my Health Education in the Elementary School class at Appalachian State Univeristy. The lesson was taught to a group of my peers during my Spring 2005 semester. Impact: As a teacher, I will plan creative and engaging health lessons for my students, building on prior knowledge and teaching in a creative, age-appropriate manner. I will collaborate with veteran teachers, research ideas from the internet and written text and use feedback from my students to improve my lessons.
Alignment: I have met the following NCDPI standards:
Standard 5 -
- Indicator 1 because the lesson I planned will enable the students it targets to lead healthy, fulfilling lives with its emphasis on healthy relationships and an awareness of the roles of family members. Raising a child's awareness of healthy family roles is the first step in enabling them to develop a healthy lifesyle.
- Indicator 2 because the family dynamics of children is an important, current issue related to my students, and my critical examination of the issue shows my awareness of such issues.
