Michigan Model for Health

The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) curriculum has been updated in Social and Emotional Health and the Nutrition and Physical Activity units. This recent update includes new videos to replace older media (Grades 1, 4, 6 and High School), and a newly revised and updated lesson on eating disorders and body image (6th grade). The digital online version of the curriculum has already been updated with these changes. Teachers using the print manual will soon receive information on downloadable addenda pages to update your curriculum manual.

The digital version of the MMH curriculum now has a new print feature allowing teachers to download and print lesson plans. Teachers have the option of printing the lesson plan outline (usually 1 or 2 pages) or full lesson plan with scripted notes.

Coming this fall, middle and high school health teachers using the digital MMH curriculum will have access to new student online lessons from the alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention module/unit to use as an alternative method for instruction from the traditional teacher led lessons. There are four online lessons for the middle and high school MMH curriculum. The online lessons can be used in the classroom with minimal facilitation by the health teacher or given as assignments for students to do outside of the classroom.

These updates and revisions are part of the continuous improvement process to ensure that MMH curriculum content is both relevant and up to date for teachers and students.

If you have any questions about MMH, please email me at ssills@oaisd.org.

DEA Warns of Brightly-Colored Fentanyl Used to Target Young Americans

"The Drug Enforcement Administration is advising the public of an alarming emerging trend of colorful fentanyl available across the United States. Dubbed, 'rainbow fentanyl' in the media, this trend appears to be a new method used by drug cartels to sell highly addictive and potential deadly fentanyl made to look like candy to children and young people." It is 50X more potent than heroin and 100X more than morphine. Read more about it in the Red Ribbon Campaign Article.
