Highline Health Education teaches our students that good health and safety principles can lead to a lifetime of healthy practices, resulting in more productive, active, and successful lives.
How do we know that our students are prepared to for a lifetime of healthy practices?
We know because they can elaborate on the following statements:
- “I can comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.”
- “I can analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors.”
- “I can access valid information and products and services to enhance health.”
- “I can use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.”
- “I can use decision-making skills to enhance health.”
- “I can use goal-setting skills to enhance health.”
- “I can practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.”
- “I can advocate for personal, family, and community health.
