Classrooms" gives educators insight into the eight most widely
researched instructional practices known to have a powerful impact

The second edition of Health Promotion and Education: Content and
Curriculum presents students with best practices for school and
public health education. Filled with practical applications and
examples, the book is written with future professional experiences
in mind and provides teaching strategies and learning activities
for diverse learning populations. The book begins by teaching
students about the role and benefit of schools and communities in
promoting health education. In later chapters, models of prevention
(with a focus on health risk behaviors), target population
characteristics, administrative support, maximizing participation,
factors that influence learning, and numerous other critical
subjects are covered. Throughout, readers are challenged to
cultivate practical skills, including learning how to write
learning objectives, implement teaching strategies, use graphic
organizers, plan lessons, create rubrics, and assess and evaluate
progress. The second edition features increased focus on assessment
and evaluation. Students learn how to align assessment and
evaluation strategies with target population indicators and
learning objectives to better demonstrate program and curricula
efficacy. Health Promotion and Education is ideal for courses in
school and/or public health education curriculum and methodology,
as well as those that teach best practices in health education.
