Health Education 8, taught by Mrs. Luyckx
Goal:
Through the knowledge and skills necessary to become
a good Citizen Responder in an emergency situation, students will be
given the opportunity to practice and improve essential life-skills to
reduce risks and improve overall health.
Topics:
The following Life-Skills will be emphasized
throughout the class:
The following content information will be
covered within these skills:
Requirements:
Grading:
1. SKILLS-BASED PROJECTS – The bulk of the
learning process in Health will be hands-on projects designed to help
students develop each of the life-skills listed above. The projects
allow for practice of these essential skills as well as assessment of
information learned. Projects are worth 100 points and a scoring rubric
will be supplied to students.
2. TESTS/QUIZZES – Tests and quizzes will be
used as check points for projects or closing of a unit. Point value of
these will vary. The Red Cross Adult CPR/AED (both written and
practical) tests will be given at the end of the unit and will count
toward the overall grade. Students passing with an 80% will get a Red
Cross certification card.
3. OUT OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS – Assignments to
be completed on “student” time will vary, and may require communication
with outside resources i.e. phone calls, working with a partner,
surveying a parent/family member.
4. IN CLASS ASSIGNMENTS – Students will be
given class time to complete many assignments. These include research,
partner/group work, problem-solving initiatives. They are expected to
use this time and stay on task.
5. CLASS PARTICIPATION – Class participation
is important as we do many assessment and skills practice initiatives
during the class period. Class participation includes:
1. Being prepared for class
2. Being present and on time
3. Following the Health Rules Contract.
6. FINAL GRADE – will be determined by dividing the
total number of points earned by the total number of points possible.
