Description

The book is authored by Dr. Katie Kilty. This adventure-based health curriculum is focused on actively improving the health literacy and self-management skills of middle school students within six priority risk areas: Violence Prevention, Mental and Emotional Health, Nutrition, Fitness, Substance Abuse Prevention, and Personal and Consumer Health. Students learn how to make healthier choices through participation in experientially designed lessons consisting of new and familiar activities that can be done in a classroom setting. The intentionally designed scope and sequence is based on national and state standards and complements a teacher's existing content-based health curriculum.
