Richmond County Technical Career Magnet School Health Syllabus-2015-2016 Teacher: Ms. Clyburn Room: 141 Email: clybuap@BOE.Richmond.k12.ga.us Phone:706-823-5580 Course Textbook: Prentice Hall Health Course Description: Health is a course that will guide students through the many dimensions of wellness. Students will develop skills needed in confronting difficult situations; understand health prevention and promotion techniques that will establish a solid personal health education, and become health literate in making positive and healthy decisions. Instructional Philosophy: The textbook and an array of supplementary resources and technology, including a variety of different instructional components will be used to enable us to meet the needs of every student at every learning level. All students are expected to participate in all class activities including working independently, in small and large groups, and in class discussions. Major Course Goals: In recent years the term health has acquired a much greater significance. It no longer means simply an absence of sickness but refers to well-being of the body, of the mind, and of relationships among people. The word wellness is used for this comprehensive concept of health and we will be using a health textbook that will address these things with your son or daughter. Everyday students are confronted with important decisions about how to maintain their health. They need to be well informed enough to make decisions. They must also learn to act on this knowledge. To achieve this goal, we will be teaching and reinforcing life skills that students need to weigh their options and to make responsible decisions that promote a healthy lifestyle. Major Course Projects & Instructional Activities: Along with the textbook, chapter quizzes, chapter tests, class work and homework, we will be using the Teens Talk Video Series to help make health relevant to students. The videos support every chapter in the book and will stimulate classroom discussion of the content and help develop the skills essential to successful health education. Assessments: Health will incorporate the following assessments throughout the semester. 1 Formative assessments (Q&A, ticket out door) Pre/post Tests Chapter Tests Quizzes Student Learning Objectives Pre/post Unit Tests Possible Projects Stressor Survey Mental Disorder Poster Body System Project Journals/logs Course Assessment Plan: 40% Participation, in- class activities 40% Tests, Projects 20% Quizzes Classroom Expectations: 1.
