Getting Students Ready to Learn
Using MMH to support health and safety preK-12
Experience Michigan's Tier 1, evidence-based Health Education Curriculum: Michigan Model for Health. Participants will leave this course prepared to teach these skill-based lessons, which will lead to meaningful behavior changes in the classroom and beyond.
The Michigan Model for Health is a planned sequential K-12 curriculum that addresses essential health skills and covers:
- Social Emotional Learning
- Nutrition and Physical Activity
- Safety
- Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug prevention
- Personal Health and Wellness
Content aligns with the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations for Health (GLCEs), Michigan Merit guidelines for Health, and the National Health Education Standards and Performance. Curriculum and materials are rich with opportunities to address State Standards in reading and writing. It also supports development of Career and College Ready Student Characteristics.
Research studies show students that receive the Michigan Model for Health Curriculum have stronger communication skills, better skills in managing their feelings and actions, improved attitudes about taking actions to stay safe and stronger drug and tobacco refusal skills.
Cost: $15; includes lunch, curriculum manual and kit with all required materials.
8:30am - 3:00pm; Check in begins at 8:00am.
