WORTH EVERY PENNY! You truly have a gift at writing curriculum Janelle. I have been teaching for 20+ years and finally feel like I have the best curriculum out there that is not dependent on some cumbersome textbook and busy work assignments.
- Erica A.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have been using PSW, since 9-20 and I LOVE IT. I have yet to have the same schedule or timing to teach health (quarters, semester, weekly, daily shared elective time) The deliberate built-in flexibility of the curriculum allows me to adjust the pacing and content for the amount of time I’m given. Brilliant design, current standards, and highly engaging content. Thank you!!

Saves me time and energy so I can use my resources to have a direct impact on students by saving a lot of time during the planning stage.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am a second-year health teacher and your program has assured me that I have covered the standards and helped spark some of my own creativity in lesson planning. Health is a unique topic and is taught so much differently than it was when I was going to school. Your program gave me the skills-based approach that I was looking for in a health curriculum.

✨ What Makes Comprehensive, Skills-Based Health Different?
Comprehensive Health and Wellness Education
Traditional health education focuses solely on the body and physical health, employing rigid rules and lacking authenticity in its relation to students' lives. In contrast, comprehensive health and wellness education is founded upon the understanding that a person's overall well-being is influenced by multiple, interconnected dimensions of well-being. This approach is holistic and authentic, genuinely centering on the health issues students experience.
Dimensions taught may include cultural, emotional, environmental financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, sexual, social, and spiritual health.
Skills-Based Health Education
In contrast to content-based health education, a skills-based approach prioritizes the development of foundational health skills alongside essential functional knowledge. The focus is on enhancing students' ability to think critically and confidently practice the health skills in real life. It is an actionable and dynamic framework, empowering educators to create authentic and impactful learning experiences that cater to student's specific health needs.
The Core Health Skills:
- Access resources to promote health and well-being
- Advocate for your well-being and the well-being of others
- Analyze influences
- Apply functional knowledge
- Make enriching decisions
- Manage personal well-being
- Set and work toward goals
- Utilize interpersonal communication skills
These health skills provide a consistent framework throughout students' lives, adapting to the changing health issues they encounter. Ultimately, a skills-based approach serves as a blueprint for a cohesive health and wellness education initiative across grade levels.
