Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence Goal of skills-based health education is to help students develop and maintain healthy behaviors by increasing knowledge and skill and decreasing risk factors.
Increase knowledge and skill Decrease risk factors
Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence National Health Education Standards* • Achieving Literacy • Introduction • Standards • Access and Equity Principles • Assessment • Background on Standards Development
National Health Education Standards* • Standards • Standard 1- Concepts • Standard 2 – Analyzing Influences • Standard 3 – Accessing Information • Standard 4 – Interpersonal communication • Standard 5 – Decision-making • Standard 6 - Goal setting • Standard 7 – Practicing healthy behaviors • Standard 8 - Advocacy Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence
Standards, J. C. (2007). National Health Education Standards, Second Edition, Achieving Excellence. Atlanta: American Cancer Society.p24 National Health Education Standards – The framework for planning • Standard 1 – • Basic health concepts and functional health knowledge from the Common Health Education Content Areas. • Standards 2 - 8 • Skills that give students the confidence to cope with life’s challenges in a healthy way.

Boston, Jones and Bartlett National Health Education Standards Standard 2-Analyzing Influences Standard 3-Accessing Information Standard 4-Interpersonal Communication Standard 1-Content Standard 5-Decision Making Standard 6-Goal Setting Standard 7-Practicing Health Behaviors Standard 8-Advocacy
Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence Performance Indicators • Accompany each standard and clarify what a student should know and do for each grade span. (PreK-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). • 1.5.4 Describe ways to prevent common childhood injuries and health problems. The 4th performance indicator in the 3-5 grade span. Standard 1 Grade span 3-5
Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence National Health Education Standards • Performance indicators • Are the foundation of assessment • Example • 1.8.3 Analyze how the environment affects personal health • Ask, “What can my students do to show me they are proficient at analyzing how the environment affects personal health?”
Connolly, M. (2010) Skills-Based Health Education. Jones and Bartlett Performance Indicators are Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy Bloom’s Taxonomy Performance indicators • are developmentally appropriate for each grade span. • include all six levels of Bloom’s original taxonomy of the cognitive domain.
Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, National Health Education Standards, Achieving Excellence If students demonstrate proficiency in all the performance indicators for each grade span, there is greater likelihood that they will adopt and maintain healthy behaviors.
Mary Connolly, Health Education consultant Although each skill is distinct with it’s own set of performance indicators, the planning procedure is the same for all.
Standards, J. C. (2007). National Health Education Standards, Second Edition, Achieving Excellence. Atlanta: American Cancer Society. p14 Teaching the Skill • Discuss • The importance of the skill. • Why the skill is relevant to the health and well-being of the student. • How the skill is related to the other skills. • Access information (S2) to make healthy decisions (S4) • Understand internal and external influences (S3) that affect setting a goal (S6)
Standards, J. C. (2007). National Health Education Standards, Second Edition, Achieving Excellence. Atlanta: American Cancer Society. p14 Teaching the Skill 2. Explain the steps to reach proficiency. • Varies with each skill • Determined by the performance indicators 3. Show the students what the skill looks like in action. 4. Provide adequate time for the students to practice 5. Utilize formative assessments during practice to provide feedback and encouragement
Planning Procedure • Access risk behavior data • Analyze the data • Determine student need • Choose a skill performance indicator that best addresses the need. • Choose the Standard one performance indicator that best addresses the need. • Design the performance task. • Develop unit lesson plans.

Connolly, M. (2010) Skills-Based Health Education. Jones and Bartlett Assessment vs. Grading Assessment Grading • Formative • Not graded • Occurs along with instruction • Feedback determines student progress in reaching performance indicators • Feedback informs the teacher whether to proceed or review • Summative • Occurs at the end of instruction • Summative • A snapshot of what the student knows and is able to do at the end of a unit. • Is the result of a performance or a written exam or both. • A grade is given.
Connolly, M. (2010) Skills-Based Health Education. Jones and Bartlett Formative assessment Assessment for learning is formative and ongoing and occurs during each lesson to determine what the students know, compared to the content and skill taught.
