The KidsHealth in the Classroom: Personal Health Series for grades 9-12 includes 21 lessons divided into 5 topics: fitness, hygiene, puberty and growing up, and safety. Each lesson has two hands-on activities designed to engage teens and encourage healthy routines, links to articles that provide background information, and discussion questions. Class members designed campaigns to encourage teens to turn off their screens and stay fit, recognize behaviors that exemplify good sportsmanship, and develop routines that include time for healthy eating. They learn how to deal with conflicts positively, manage anger, communicate feelings, and show more empathy to one another. The series is a great way to bring CASEL competencies into the classroom.
