COURSE OVERVIEW

It is anticipated that students in this course will someday be filling the role of the Health Educator in an elementary school setting. The primary focus of the course will be to sensitize the students to the importance of Elementary Health Education and how to become an effective health facilitator in the classroom. Students will be seen as active participants in the classroom and will be required to participate in regularly scheduled activities.
