I have my Masters of Education Degree and my National Board Certification in Health. I am a certified K-12 Physical Education teacher, a 4-12 Health and Language Arts teacher, and over the years I've taught junior high P.E., Elementary P.E., 9th Grade English, Reading, 9th Grade P.E., Aerobics, and 9th Grade Health. I've been at my current job - High School 9th Grade Health for 18 years.
The purpose of each of my health units was inspired by an awesome website called "Above the Influence." (google it and check it out!). I used these themes: 1. ABOVE THE CROWD (pressure to fit in) 2. ABOVE THE STRESS (pressure to relieve stress in harmful ways) 3. ABOVE THE INFLUENCE (pressure to use drugs) 4. ABOVE THE PRESSURE (pressure to be sexually active) 5. ABOVE THE HYPE (pressure to be perfect) 6. ABOVE THE CONTROL (pressure to judge, bully, hate, 7. ABOVE THE CONTROL PART II (Pressure to have unhealthy nutritional habits) 8. ABOVE THE PRESSURE (pressure to make dangerous decisions) 9. ABOVE THE PAST-(overcoming childhood hardships) My curriculum was designed to help teens grow in the confidence to say "I will" to the healthy choice, even in the face of extreme pressures and challenges. It was created to help teens build their self-esteem and embrace the realization that they each have the power to engineer just who they want to be.
