Michigan Model for Health
- The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) is a nationally recognized comprehensive evidence-based health education curriculum that targets Pre-K through 12th grade students utilizing a skills-based approach. The MMH curriculum teaches students the knowledge and skills they need to build and maintain healthy behaviors and lifestyles. Age-appropriate and sequential lessons focus on the most serious health challenges school-aged children face.
- The Michigan Model curriculum has released a digital version of the K-12 curricula that links all the student worksheets, resources and videos. If you would like to be trained in the curricula, receive free materials and a possible stipend (depending on grant funding), contact Stacey Sills for more details.
