Health & Phys Ed - FREE Teaching and Learning Resources - 2 views

  •  
    This website focuses on showing educators different health issues to utilize in the classroom. One of the main things that caught my eye was the first link to show up: facts about drugs. Because drugs can be a huge issue in middle and high school kids today, it is important for teachers, especially in the health field, to inform kids on the serious affects that drugs can have on the body. Relating lesson plans to student's lives is key for teachers to break though with students.

    This website would be helpful for teachers to review. This journal is all about teachers sharing their own stories and offering advice to other teachers.
