School Health Education
Curriculum [PDF]
Program OverviewThe School Health Education option prepares students for challenging careers working with children in the school setting. Graduates help pupils in community schools develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to live safe and healthy lives. School Health educators work as members of coordinated school health programs which also include school nurses, physicians, counselors, teachers, and other service personnel.
For students who desire to teach health in secondary community schools, completion of the School Health program effectively prepares students for the testing required in order to obtain the Illinois Initial Secondary Teaching Certificate.
