Intended Audience: Elementary classroom teachers, physical education teachers, school nurses, school counselors, and others tasked with teaching these topics.
The Vermont Education Quality Standards state that Vermont elementary schools must ensure all students have access to health curriculum and instruction. Classroom teachers and other elementary specialists (physical education, school counselors, school nurses, etc.) are often tasked to teach K-6 health without the training or content expertise in health-related topics. This four-part webinar series will offer educators professional learning that supports the health education of their students.
The series consists of 4 webinars that run from 3:30 - 5pm on the following days (for a total of 6 professional learning hours):
December 2: An Overview of Comprehensive Elementary Health Education in Vermont with Sue Yesalonia
January 19 and February 15: Embedding Social Emotional Learning and Mental Health Education into Daily Practice with Lance Metayer
March 8: Teaching Substance Misuse Prevention with JoEllen Tarallo
