Core Health Course Series
The Core Health Course Series draws upon the digital files topically organized in the Family Health Series. Updated and organized to support health teachers responsible for delivering elementary and middle school curriculum, the Core Health Course Series engages and supports the understanding of important health topics. The new courseware enables student registration and progress tracking. The courses are also complemented by separate software for teachers with updated digital resources (drawn from the Family Health Lesson Builders). Health teachers can use the interactive files for classroom presentations with interactive whiteboards. The digital resources also include printable fact sheets and practice sheets.
