Course Description:

Designed to prepare students for lifelong decision-making, problem-solving, and wellness management, this course focuses on the dynamics of health in a rapidly changing world.

Course  Topics:

• Individual Responsibility for Wellness: Goal-setting, healthy vs. risky behaviors, decision-making skills, communication, and self-esteem.
• Mental Health: Mental health disorders, personality types, coping with anger, stress management, depression, and grief.
• Nutrition and Fitness: Introduction to the new food plate, nutrition basics, and the importance of exercise and weight management.
• Substances: how alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs affect individuals and society.
• Healthy Relationships: how healthy relationships are a foundational part of functioning successfully in society.
• Human Sexuality and Reproduction: an abstinence-based look at anatomy, pregnancy, STDs, contraception, healthy relationships, and refusal skills.
• Emergency Care: Basic first aid and safety procedures, CPR training

Attendance:

I have to take attendance every day!  This is state law!  

If you are absent and it is excused it is your responsibility to complete any missing work.  

By state law, I do not have to grant make-up work, test etc. for unexcused tardies or absences  Please see the student handbook for Lindbergh High School’s Attendance Policy. 

Late/Missing Work:

I do not accept late work.  If I turned in late work to my supervisor I would be reprimanded or even fired.  You are learning to be an adult and therefore need to be responsible for your grade which means turning in work on time.  If you have an emergency you need to see me or email me before the due date so we can work something out.   If you are absent on the day of a presentation you will lose points.  Presentations are not something that can be made up easily and often times it leaves other students hanging.  If you turn in late work you will lose points.

Grading Scale:

All assignments are graded using a scale of 0-5 points.  

0= did not turn the assignment in and it's missing.  

1= shows little understanding of the material, did not meet the standard or did not follow directions.

2= understanding the foundational material, still working to master concepts and skills.

3= demonstrates proficiency of the material.

4= demonstrates an in-depth understanding of the material.

5= demonstrates an in-depth understanding of the material and completes advanced applications.
