Introduction to Health Education

“Healthy children are better learners”, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC said.

In today's diverse classrooms, some students face unique health challenges while others enjoy robust health. Thanks to medical and technological advances, many children with chronic health conditions and physical challenges can now learn alongside their peers, thanks in part to the inclusive education concept.

However, achieving this inclusivity requires the cooperation of all teachers. They must not only provide rigorous academic materials but also support students with special health needs throughout the school day.

Are our teachers aware of their evolving role and responsibilities? This introductory course aims to raise teachers' awareness of the vital role they play in promoting healthy behaviors and supporting students with common chronic diseases.
