3.0 out of 5 stars
Average Quality,
By Erin (WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comprehensive School Health Education: Totally Awesome Strategies for Teaching Health (Paperback)
This textbook is my textbook for a course I am taking in college. I am in school to be a health teacher, and gym teacher. The book is layed out nicely for an elementary school teacher where you only teach 1, maybe 2 grades. In the back of the book, there are teaching stragies that help teach the content chapters. My problem with that is the layout. Instead of listing the content chapter for example..."Nutrition" then listing lessons for grades 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.... they chose to list Grade 1--Nutrition, Personal Health, Growth and Development, Consumer Health, etc. Grade 2--Nutrition, Personal Health, Growth and Development, Consumer Health...etc

As a instructor of preservice classroom teachers, I love using this book. The organization is sequencial and the amount of information just right. My students liked the book as well and most plan to use it as a reference as they start teaching. Great job Meeks, Heit, and Page.

This review is from: Comprehensive School Health Education: Totally Awesome Strategies for Teaching Health (Paperback)
When I was taking classes to get a Ph.D. in Science Education, I had to take a class in which we were asked to find a book on curriculum (science) and analyze it and how well it was done. Since my BS and MS are in Neuroscience, and my concerns lie in educating Deaf students in science and medical literacy, I picked this book. It was and is being used for students who will be teach physical education. Now I really disagree on this matter, that ill-trained physical education teachers should be teaching such an important subject matter as health. It should be encorporated into biology, but that is neither here nor there concerning this particular book. I was very impressed with the work, with the ideas, and with the effort the authors made in this health book to make health education inclusive in its aims. Not only did they try to reach all students regardless of gender, race, and ability...but they taught specific lessons on disabilities which would explain and answer questions that some students may have concerning classmates/peers who have those disabilities. This book is five years old and needs to be updated in areas such as AIDS and Hepatitis C. Things have changed drastically in both these areas which have not been touched on in the book. However, their ideas and lessons were of the quality that I could make slight adjustments to the curricula to make it more accessible say to deaf or blind students, without having to teach them away from the rest of the class. I highly recommend this book to all teachers who are interested in protecting the health of the children/students they teach. Karen Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh
