Widespread obesity, poor nutrition, sleep-deprivation, and highly
digital and sedentary lifestyles are just a few of the many
challenges facing young people. Although public schools in the
United States have the potential for meeting these challenges on a
mass scale, they are slow to respond. The emphasis on discrete
subject areas and standardized test performance offers little in
the way of authentic learning and may in reality impede health.
Healthy Teens, Healthy Schools: How Media Literacy Education can
Renew Education in the United States reframes health education as a
complex terrain that resides within a larger ecosystem of
historical, social, political, and global economic forces. It calls
for a media literate pedagogy that empowers students to be critical
consumers, creative producers, and responsible citizens. This book
illustrates holistic health education through school-community
initiatives and innovative partnerships that are successful in
magnifying all curriculum subjects and their associated teaching
practices. Vanessa Domine offers teachers, teacher educators,
school administrators, community organizers, public health
professionals, and policy makers with a transmedia and
transdisciplinary educational approach to adolescent health to
demonstrate how our collective focus on cultivating healthy teens
will ultimately yield healthy schools.
