Lesson Planning for Skills-Based Secondary Health Education

Implement a skills-based approach in health education.

A practical resource for middle school and high school health educators, Lesson Planning for Skills-Based Secondary Health Education, Second Edition With Web Resource, offers field-tested ways to implement a skills-based approach to health education.

Renowned authors Sarah Benes and Holly Alperin, together with leading health educators, present the rationale and foundation for a skills-based approach while offering practical examples, tools, resources, assessments, and strategies to support teachers. This text can serve as a blueprint for creating an entirely new curriculum or as a supplement to existing programs, helping educators make a seamless shift from a content-based approach to a skills-based one.

The second edition features updates such as these:

• New units organized by health skills, with 70 new lessons to choose from and use in your class right away
• Alignment with the 2024 SHAPE America National Health Education Standards
• Reproducible student worksheets that are modifiable and available in both English and Spanish

The online web resource contains downloadable, editable supplemental materials that support the units and can be accessed through a QR code.

This text is an ideal companion to The Essentials of Teaching Health Education, Third Edition, a foundational text by Benes and Alperin that presents teaching and assessment strategies for planning and implementing a skills-based approach to teaching health education. Together, these two books can help educators effectively teach skills-based health education from day one.

Lesson Planning for Skills-Based Secondary Health Education provides educators with everything they need to put a skills-based approach into practice: the solid foundational information that explains the concepts as well as the resources, tools, and strategies to help implement lesson plans and activities that will aid students in developing proficiency in the skills emphasized in the national standards.
