Teacher Information Teachers - if you teach 10-13 year olds and want to add some pizzazz to your curriculum, Healthy Hearts is for you and your students! Healthy Hearts is a web-based instructional module developed to help children learn more about cardiovascular health, and the importance of physical activity, good nutrition, and tobacco avoidance in maintaining a healthy body. We know that behaviors established in childhood, such as physical inactivity, poor eating habits, & tobacco use greatly increase a child's risk of developing chronic diseases in adulthood, and that many of these poor health habits are established by the age of 13. Teaching children at a young age about these health habits is an important part of your curriculum, and Healthy Hearts can help! You can learn more about the instructional module by clicking the link below! We also realize that teachers today have more than they can do in the classroom to prepare our youth for the future. That's why we have made a special effort to assist you by making Healthy Hearts teacher-friendly - providing you with tools to implement the program with minimal computer experience and minimal preparation time, and with no special training. From teh Teacher Tools section of Healthy Hearts, you can add your class and student information, print out student ID cards, choose the topic for students to work on, and monitor student progress. Teacher Tools also provides a Resource Room for you with additional information and activities. Healthy Hearts is interdisciplinary - so your students can practice skills in math, language arts, geography, technology, and physical education, while focusing on health instruction.
