| HEALTH
Grades 10-11 |
The purpose of the course is to aid students in improving and maintaining
their own health and in accepting responsibility for protecting the health
of others. The course helps students examine their lifestyles, select
goals, and make plans to achieve and maintain optimum health. The
course provides current facts in these areas: mental health, social health,
growth and development, nutrition, exercise and fitness, drugs, diseases
and STD's, consumer and personal health, safety and first aid, and community
and environmental health. Students learn to differentiate between healthful
or wellness behaviors and harmful or risk behaviors in each of these areas.
This course is mandated by the 1989 Iowa academic standards and must be taken by at least one Marquette student each year. |
